Dear Seniors – Your November To-Do List

·      Regular registration for the December SAT and ACT are closed. See websites for late registration...

·      Have test scores sent by College Board or ACT to the colleges to which you are sending applications.

·      Don't let your grades slide. It's easy to be distracted from school work when working on applications. Senior slump can be disastrous for your admissions chances. Remembering that many colleges pay close attention to first semester, sometimes even quarter grades, keep your grades as high as you can.

·      Make sure you've submitted all components of your applications if you are applying to colleges with November deadlines for early decision or preferred application.

·      Put the final touches on your application essays, and get feedback on your essays from counselors and/or teachers.

·      Continue to research scholarships.

·      Keep track of all application components and deadlines: applications, test scores, letters of recommendation, and financial aid materials. An incomplete application will ruin your chances for admission.

·      Continue to keep close contact with your counselor’s – especially if questions or concerns arise.
