First, you can do this 👍!!! Remember it is a process. Applications are not intended to be completed in one day. Start it, save, and come back - over and over- until ready to submit. If there is a question you don't understand - join me in a zoom or email me and let me help you. If you feel like you are getting frustrated or overwhelmed then TAKE A BREAK. Use the checklist below to help you in the process. Save all short answers and essays in word BEFORE putting them in your application. Another great place to research colleges other than Naviance is https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/

***Make sure you continually check the email you used to apply to your college, along with your WCBOE school email (if that is not what you used). Please make sure that if you used a personal email address that the email address is appropriate. Example: hotmomma2021@... is not appropriate 🤷♀️

***Make sure your school accepts that application before using. I would only use one of these if you are applying to two or more schools that accept that application. Otherwise, apply directly to the college with their direct application.

Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?
Reflect on something that someone has done for you that has made you happy or thankful in a surprising way. How has this gratitude affected or motivated you?
Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.
Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?
Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you’ve already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.

Both of these are items you must complete yourself. I cannot do these, nor do I have access to do these.
Sending dual enrollment credits:
You have to go to Wor-Wic online and pay to have your transcript sent. My suggestion is to have it sent electronically to your college AND also get a few official paper copies for you to have on hand. This way when you go to orientation, if they for one reason or another do not have it, you will have a sealed paper copy you can give them. There is a small fee for this (under $10). The link to do this is below.
https://www.worwic.edu/Services-Support/Student-Records-Transcripts/Online-Transcript-Ordering
NOTE: If you are in English 151 at Mardela, do not put your request in yet as those grades have not been submitted and finalized on your transcript. I would wait until June 10th or 15th to give them time to be posted by Wor-Wic.
Sending AP scores:
You need to log-in to your College Board account and pay to have your AP scores (unless sending them to Wor-Wic – they will usually take the unofficial copy you can download from college board – but check with them). If you took an AP test this year and put your college on the registration when you signed up for the test, then you will not have to pay to send them as the send cost was including in the AP fees and they will send ALL AP scores for all your tests over the years.
