- Request your transcripts through Naviance. Don’t forget to request your official test scores from ACT or SAT.
- Keep a spreadsheet or calendar to organize your applications and due dates.
- Submit the FAFSA as quickly as possible (opens October 1) in order to be eligible for the most financial aid.
- December—Apply for local scholarships (Counseling Office will send more information).
January
- Continue to work hard on your studies. Your high school courses continue to count throughout your senior year.
- Give all Mid-Year report forms to your counselor, if applicable.
- Submit the FAFSA online if you have not already done so.
February-March
- Continue to monitor your applications to be sure that all materials are sent and received on time.
- Watch for financial aid awards from each college. Carefully assess each with regard to how much of your need the award will cover. Inquire about other financing plans if a college does not meet your total need.
May
- Decide where you want to go. May 1 is National College Decision Day.
- Take Advanced Placement (AP) examinations if appropriate. Many colleges offer advanced standing based on AP exam results.
