College Application Procedures
College Application Procedures
The following guidelines will help seniors complete all the steps in the college application process.
Know college application deadlines well in advance, and submit early.
Request your transcript from Mrs. Taylor.
Go to each college's admissions page to find the online application.
Complete the application online, and proofread it before submitting.
ACT and SAT test scores do not appear on transcripts, but many colleges have transitioned to a test-optional process. Check to see each college's policy. If you want a college to factor your scores into their review or if the college requires it, send your ACT scores (www.actstudent.org) and/or SAT scores (www.collegeboard.com) to each institution. Colleges must receive your scores by their unique deadlines in order to consider your file complete.
Visit Mrs. Taylor's office or email her (etaylor@camraiders.com) with any questions.
