WHERE SHOULD I I START?
Navigating the college application process remotely
As you begin your senior year, you'll be in a new, remote environment. Though this will require a bit of adjustment, the college application process will be fundamentally the same. This is good: it means that the normal processes of doing the Common Application, RDS, FAFSA, and more won't require too many changes. In any case, I'm here to help! Check out the links below that cover the basics of the first steps in the college application process.
INTRODUCTION TO THE COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS AND TIMELINE
CREATE (OR LOG INTO) YOUR CFNC ACCOUNT
COMPLETE RDS TO RECEIVE IN-STATE TUITION
CREATE YOUR COMMON APPLICATION ACCOUNT
MAKE A LIST OF SCHOOLS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN
TEST OPTIONAL UNC SYSTEM SCHOOLS
U.S. COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES NOT REQUIRING TEST SCORES
Don't overwhelm yourself with all of this information. Take it one step at a time and reach out to Mr. Ortega and your counselors if you have any questions or concerns. We are here to help with at every step of the way to your college aspirations.
