College planning for seniors
In September, you should:
- meet with admissions representatives who are visiting your school;
- make a list of all test names, dates, fees, registration deadlines, and deadlines for college admissions and financial aid applications;
- remember you must take tests like the SAT and ACT at least six weeks before the deadline for scores to be submitted to colleges; and
- begin asking teachers, guidance counselors and employers for letters of recommendation to include with your admissions and / or scholarship applications.
