2014 September College Readiness Tips for Teachers and Counselors
Happy Thanksgiving. So many of our students are waiting to hear from early action, decision, or notification colleges, as are students who applied for Posse and Questbridge Scholarships. Sadly, all of them will not get admitted, and they need to have other applications ready to go. If they don't, they will have a horrible holiday vacation, and drag you into it. So please, share these tips to get students working on their other applications now!!!
Waiting for Early Application Acceptances?: Prepare Other Applications NOW!!!
There are many different types of college admissions. Keep track of college acceptance types and make sure you don't apply too early if you need to wait for higher test scores and fall grades. Some colleges have specific deadlines, while others accept students as they apply or who meet certain minimum criteria. Some have binding early decision options, while some let you get in early and then still apply to other colleges. Many state colleges have only one fixed deadline. Be smart in choosing how you will apply to a college.
