Deadlines

Just a friendly reminder to watch your deadlines. It is really important that you stay organized and submit all application materials to colleges prior to their designated deadlines. There are several schools that have scholarship deadlines of November 1st. (This means that if you want to be considered for the maximum scholarship offering that you need to apply by November 1st.) Other schools have November 15th, December 3rd, December 15th, or even later deadlines, but because every school is different it is really important that you stay on top of this and meet the requirements with plenty of time. If you have a college application with a November 1st deadline and you have not seen me already, please be sure to come in immediately!

Don't forget, you need to allow plenty of time to request your transcript, get it back and mail it in to the college. Most schools hold firm to the requirement that their deadline doesn't just mean that the online application has been received by that date, but that all supporting documentation is also in their hands by their designated deadline date. This means that they also need to have your transcript and official ACT/ SAT test scores prior to the deadline date. All the more reason to watch this closely and give yourself plenty of time to get your materials to the college.

If you are having trouble figuring out your deadlines, stop down to see me and we can look it up together.
