Apply to Colleges

• You should select between five and eight schools you are interested in attending. (Choosing too many schools can spread efforts too thin and can be expensive.)
• Check with each school about its individual application requirements such as high school transcripts and official standardized test scores, not to mention application fees. (It is helpful to develop a chart on which to log this information — especially deadlines — so nothing gets missed.)
• Allow yourself — and the people you are working with to get necessary application materials, like letters of recommendation — plenty of time to meet deadlines.
• Don’t leave applying to colleges until the last minute!
