List all deadlines. It is your responsibility to ensure that applications and supporting materials reach the colleges on time . Make sure that your courses are described in your applications. Be sure your school profile or transcript supplement is included. Applications require objective and subjective information.
Subjective information includes the presentation of extracurricular activities.
Provide information that makes you come alive to the reader and that clearly demonstrates your ability to do college-level work. When possible, document your activities and demonstrate long-term commitment. Complete application forms no later than December, earlier if you are interested in early admission. Make extra copies of each application form. Use the copies for practice before filling out the originals.
