Common Applicationhttp://www.commonapp.org
WHY USE IT?Once completed online or in print, copies of the Application for Undergraduate Admission can be sent to any number of participating colleges (over 400 in the U.S.).
This allows you to spend less time on the busywork of applying for admission, and more time on what's really important: college research, visits, essay writing, and senior year coursework.
Applying & Requesting Transcripts
You HAVE to tell us that you have applied AND request the transcript
Update Your Admissions Decisions To Keep Us Informed
Requesting Teacher Recommendations
Hi Mr. Boedicker, can you please write me a recommendation letter to Stanford University? I would need it in approximately 3 weeks. I just completed the "Biography For Letters of Recommendation" to help you. I understand if you are unable to do this for me, so please let me know either way. Thank you!
Biography For Letters Of Recommendation
Scholarships
This is where we will post scholarship information received in the office.
www.fastweb.com is a good online scholarship database – use a separate email account
if possible
Your parents’ employers can be a scholarship source
Campus Visits
Go to any college admissions website and look for a campus visit link
You are allowed 2 days out of school that do not count against your perfect attendance records.
Try to schedule visits over fall break. Colleges will be in session, so you will get a real “feel” of what that college is like.
Do NOT commit to a college before visiting!
Download the college visit form from the Naviance welcome page
This form must be signed by a parent and turned in to Mrs. Clary in the Senior Academy office at least one day PRIOR to your campus visit.
You must bring back an official document from the college verifying your attendance.
