We know this time of year is busy with filling out your college applications, and we wanted to make sure we answered some of your frequently asked questions to help you through this process.
I forgot to apply by November 1st, can I still apply?
Yes! We accept applications for admission through January 15th. November 1st deadline is to be considered for merit based scholarships from the university, so you can still apply after that deadline!
I don’t have my transcripts or letter of recommendation yet, should I wait to submit my application?
No! You may submit your application as soon as you have completed it on the Common App. Transcripts and LORS can come after you have submitted your application. However, will want to submit those forms ASAP.
Is there anything else I need to do after I submit my application?
Once you have submitted your Common App…that’s it! There is nothing else you need to do except enjoy your senior year. We will notify you if there is anything additional needed.
