COLLEGE APPLICATION DEADLINES:

IT IS EACH SENIOR'S PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW WHEN THEIR COLLEGE APPLICATION DEADLINES ARE!!  ...AND TO KNOW WHEN THIS MEANS THEIR RED ENVELOPE MUST BE TURNED INTO THE COLLEGE CAREER CENTER TO MEET THEIR DEADLINES!

Seniors were informed during the September, 2007, Senior Guidance sessions, and this information also appears on the front of the red envelopes seniors use to apply for college (for both on-line applications and paper applications), that the College Career Center requires 10 full in-school days to:

     • obtain the student's official transcript(s)

     • review the student's application(s)

     • obtain and verify recommendation letter(s) status

     • complete counselor/teacher evaluation form(s),

        if required

Priority Deadlines, Early Action Deadlines, and regular deadlines vary from school to school.  Seniors must find out when their college applications' deadlines are, and make a timeline using their student planner or a calendar in order to meet the 10-day College Career Center's deadline.  Application deadline dates are posted on each college and university's website.
