       college admissions requirements.

 

[   ] Keep a calendar, schedule or agenda for all the upcoming deadlines.

 

[   ] Ask for transcripts and other important documents way before the deadline!

 

[   ] If you haven’t done so, register and take tests such as the SAT, SAT Subject tests, and ACT. Check with the colleges to see which one they require for admission.

 

Letter of Recommendation: Things to Do

 

[   ] Think ahead! Ask for letters of recommendations way before the deadline.
