Tips:
Remember: The first step in preparing for your future is to explore your career options. Look for a career that revolves around activities you enjoy. Then, if education beyond high school is required, look for colleges/universities or technical schools that prepare you for your career choice. Visit as many of the college campuses as you can. Be sure to get prior approval from an administrator before you are absent from school.
Don't Delay! Apply for admission now if you plan to attend a major college or university! Submitting an application for admission is a prerequisite for academic scholarship consideration. Campus housing often fills up early in your senior year. It is extremely important to apply now and send your deposit to save your place if you are accepted.
ACT or SAT? It is important that college-bound seniors have a competitive ACT or SAT1 score before December 1st of their senior year. ACT encourages registration online, see the link at top of page. SAT also encourages registration online, see the link at top of page. Most colleges accept either ACT or SAT1, contact the college admissions office to find out which is accepted.
The Common Application: If you are applying to several different schools, they may accept the same application. To find out, visit: Welcome to the Common App!.
