Complete these tasks to ensure you find the right school for you: COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE TIMELINE


Now that you’re almost done with college admissions, make sure to stay on top of things to give yourself the best chance of being accepted. Here are a few things to watch out for at this time of the year:

  • Don’t delay in applying to schools with late deadlines or rolling admissions – they may still be filling up their class for next year.
  • Make sure to keep your grades up. The admissions process is almost over but practically every college makes acceptance contingent upon continued academic success. You’ve worked hard for the past 3+ years; don’t lose focus now!
  • Register and study for any AP exams you are scheduled to take.
  • Be sure to fill out the FAFSA as soon as possible. Many colleges have deadlines earlier than the one listed on the FAFSA, so be sure to check with each school individually. Guidance counselors may be able to assist you with the process.
  • Continue to search for scholarships that you may be eligible for.
  • Keep track of acceptances, waitlists, and rejections. As acceptance letters come in, compare financial aid packages and consider campus visits in order to get an idea of which schools are a realistic possibility.

Complete these tasks to ensure you find the right school for you as soon as possible.
