College Counseling Weekly Update for the week of October 20th, 2014

October 15th applications have been submitted and we are putting the finishing touches on November 1 applications. It's hard to imagine that there is life beyond November 1, but the hits just keep on coming. There are some important deadlines this week related to applications due later in November and lots and lots of colleges continue to visit. Stay with us seniors - there is a lot going on!

Transcript Request Deadline

For any college that has a November 2-30 deadline, your transcript request form is due to the College Counseling Office by Wednesday, October 22. This might be colleges with a November 15 EA deadline or rolling deadlines. Thank you to those of you who have already turned forms in!

Last Common Application HELP session- Friday, October 24^th at lunch

The college counselors will be in the Founders computer lab during lunch to help with any questions about filling out the Common App, matching your Common App, or anything else! That's also a good time to come by if you would like to log into your College Board or ACT account and make sure you have sent your scores and/or added schools to your fall registrations for your early schools. We can also answer any questions about non- Common App applications.

College Visits

To attend a college visit, please come get a pass from one of the college counselors. You will need to give the pass to your teacher at least one day before the visit in order to be excused. You do not need to sign up for the visit on Naviance- you must get a pass!
