It’s October- Here’s your Application to-do list

To-Do List for Applying:

  1. Complete Common Application

  • All sections in the common app tab

  • All supplemental sections- for each college (does the school have an essay prompt as well?)

  • Upload completed personal essay in the writing tab in the common app tab

2. Request Transcript and Letters of Recommendation through either Common app, Naviance, Scoir and your guidance counselor via high school office. 

3. If needed, order official test scores from the college board for SAT or act.org for ACt to go to schools you are applying to.

4. Complete STARS, if need be, (this is a software platform that posts your transcript with all high school coursework and grades which you link to your college’s portal after you submit.) https://srar.selfreportedtranscript.com/Login.aspx

5. After you submit, check your email and set up your applicant portals! Important step. You will most likely need to do one or two things in there and/or link your STARS to it, as well as upload an art portfolio, etc. if need be.
