COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS Begin narrowing down college choices. Plan to apply to 3-5 colleges. Follow instructions on College

Application Checklist. Give your teachers, counselor plenty of

time to complete forms or letters (at least one week).

Plan your campus visits. You get 2 days to go on campus visits. See Mrs. Morris for the form.

You may qualify for an application fee waiver.

COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS Consider your qualifications for the

college(s) to which you are applying. Check their website for the average

freshman GPA and/or SAT score. Do you fall within range? Consider cost, location, and course

offerings.

Cover Your Bases

If your GPA is below 3.0, consider applying to a 2-year college.

Starting at a 2-year school gives you a chance to build your GPA.

You can transfer to a four-year college later, and possibly qualify for scholarships.
