| Tips for Applying to College |
|
Read your mail. Check mail from schools immediately. A letter might tell you how to register for classes. Financial aid information might also be mailed. School letters often have important dates. Ask a career coach for help, if needed. |
|
Explore and choose several schools. Exploring how college is set-up can make looking at colleges easier. Visit Know How to Go for a virtual tour of college. Apply to up to six different schools for degree programs. It's good to have a back-up plan in case your first choice falls through. If you can't afford to pay the application fees, ask if you can have them waived. |
|
Prepare your documents. |
|
Apply. Make a checklist of each school's admission steps. Ask for help from your family or career coach to organize your lists. Most schools have application deadlines. Know what day each application is due. Ask each school what their deadlines are. Keep all of your school information in one place. |
