The Basic Parts of an Application

You can often apply online directly to an individual College or University or use the

Common Application, entering your information just once.

You could also download the application form, complete the details required on it and then

post it to the institution.

Colleges are generally smaller that Universities.


Application Form

The average college application fee is around $25.

(Some colleges charge up to $60, while others don't have an application fee at all.)

The fee is usually nonrefundable, even if you're not offered admission.

Check the College that you are applying to about specific application fees.


Application Fee

If it comes with your admission

materials, you should give it to the Counselor to complete as early as possible.

Some colleges send this form directly to your school after receiving your application.


Counselor Recommendation

A Transcript is a record of your results from

grade 9 through to grade 12

The school provides transcripts throughout the application process.

Transcripts ordered after your graduation is

subject to a processing fee of SR50.

Egyptian students will be informed about when they could order these special

transcripts (towards the end of the year).


Transcripts

This can be written by your teachers, counselor, or principals – they should know you fairly well to write a letter of recommendation for you.

Many colleges/universities ask you to submit one or more letters of recommendation from a teacher or your school counselor.

When we start with the college application process we ask teachers to write these letters well before the colleges’ deadline.



DO NOT ask teachers yourself to write letters for you or to complete forms that you get from Colleges – this must be given to the Counselor’s office and we will give this to teachers.

This is done so that we have a record of where you are with your application and to maintain our professionalism in handling recommendation letters.



At many colleges, you have to submit SAT®, SAT

Subject Test, or ACT test scores.

ESL students may need their TOEFL

scores

Test scores are a standard way of measuring a

student's ability to do college-level work.

Since each College has their own requirements, it is your

responsibility to check up the College’s website to see what they

require.


Admission Test Scores

SAT scores are required by most US Universities and

Colleges; American Universities in the Middle East; some Canadian Universities.


Test Scores

If you're applying to private colleges, your essay often plays a very important role.

Your Essay can be an autobiographical statement or can have a specific theme.

Use this as an opportunity to express your individuality so that you stand out when you are compared to other applicants.


Essay

All parts of your application must be consistent and create a consistent portrait of who you are and what you'll bring to the college.

If your essay or interview contradicts information you gave on other forms, this may cause admission officers to have doubts about accepting you.

If all the parts of your application are filled out honestly and carefully, your chances of acceptance will be more positive.


HONESTY

Many Colleges and Universities offer Scholarships and Financial Aid.

You need to research this yourself and print out the necessary forms to be completed.

Often universities ask for a reference from your school counselor – in this case there is a reference form that needs to be completed by your counselor.

It is your responsibility to find out:

This means taking it easy during senior year.

Not only does senioritis jeopardize your chances for success later on in college, it can also affect your grades—and college admission officers pay close attention to your performance in senior year.

the entire senior year—is actually of particular interest to colleges.


AVOID SENIORITIS

When a College sends you a letter of acceptance – keep in mind that this is CONDITIONAL – this means that your final acceptance depends on your final results – this is often written in small print and students fail to read this – hence the poor behavior and lack of interest in students once they complete their applications.


Conditional Acceptance

All requests must be done through Ms Misha by completing a request

form.

Don’t waste time waiting to see me if you need to make a request for a transcript or report card or recommendation letter. Simply complete the request form.


Points to Remember

If your parents need to see me for more details please make an appointment with me to see if I am available. Do Not assume that I will be available at any time to meet with your parents.

If you need to see me, check with Ms Misha first to see if I can see you.

DO NOT walk into my office unannounced.


Points to Remember

Good

Luck

applications
