December
Keep working! And don't lose sight of the bigger picture: You need to complete scholarship applications and talk financial shop with your parents (if you're like most of us, they're the ones paying for most, if not all, of the bill). Also, presuming you haven't been accepted at an early decision college, you should regularly re-evaluate your list of colleges, making changes based on new info you've gathered. Even as you make changes, make sure you always have both an admissions safety and a financial aid safety school (they might be the same school).
To Do:
- Keep working on your college applications.
- Follow up with your teachers about your recommendations (gently remind them of approaching deadlines).
- Complete scholarship applications.
- Discuss financial aid application requirements with your parents.
- Interview, if desired, at your chosen schools.
