Things Needed to Apply to College

Seniors! The time for college is now just a few steps away. There are many things needed to complete application to a college. To start applying for colleges, a senior first needs to narrow down the search to three schools. Visiting colleges will help in the final decision and will give a view of what college life is like. There is an Open Application Window to all students applying to college between October and March. There are many applications available in the guidance office, but the best way to apply is on the college's web site. For applications in Georgia, visit www.GAcollege411.org to receive information on most colleges in Georgia. After getting the application, send it in along with the application fees and high school transcripts. It will also be good to complete a portfolio of past history in and out of school. Remember to always stay within application deadlines. Also, remember that the ACT and/or SAT is needed with each application.
