Ask someone to review what you write for grammar, punctuation, readability, and content. Completing this process early in the school year will give you ample time to review information with your parents and make an educated decision on the school that best suits you and your family finances. Review your transcripts to make sure you have the credits you need to get into the college of your choice. Check on available housing at the colleges of your choice. These representatives can give you insight on the schools curriculum, costs and student life to help you narrow down which schools you may want to visit.
Some colleges require recommendation forms.
Talk to teachers or counselors about completing the form on your behalf. Make them aware of the deadline for returning the form. Make sure you thank them for their time. Complete the college admissions form and send it in early. Keep in mind that some colleges and universities have an early admission deadline of Dec. 1.
