How to Prepare for the Admissions Process

By EducationQuest Foundation

The college application process starts in in the fall of your senior year. Follow these tips to prepare.

Understand Admission Requirements

Most colleges will require these items with your application:

• Your high school transcript with class rank (sent through your high school registrar/guidance office)

• ACT and/or SAT scores (when you take the exams, have the scores sent to all colleges you’re interested in attending)

• List of extracurricular activities

• Application fee (may be waived if you qualify for free or reduced price lunch)

• Some colleges also require an essay and/or letters of recommendation.

For a complete list, see the College Application Checklist at .

Stay Organized

Mark deadlines on your calendar and create a folder for each school to store correspondence and brochures, and notes from campus visits.
