SENIOR YEAR (CLASS OF 2008)

June
Don't forget to send in all of the paperwork to the college you've chosen to attend. Not only will you need to submit a deposit with the form that tells them you're enrolling, but you also will need to send in a housing form if you plan to live on campus, and you will need to accept or decline the various parts of your financial aid package. You will probably also need to send your final transcript from your high school. If you're still hanging out on a wait-list, you'll also want to send in this stuff so they can re-evaluate your application. Consider sending in a supplementary recommendation—you don't want to overwhelm the office with extra stuff, but if it provides previously unknown information, go ahead and do it.

Make sure you complete this paperwork on time and accurately. Over the summer, it's a good idea to double-check that everything has been taken care of and that you are ready to roll. If you do, you can spend the first week of college living your new life rather than filling out forms you should already have turned in or standing in lines to get basic questions answered.

To Do:

Sign up for the College Times Newsletter.
Get ready for school.
Stay on top of ALL official school mail.
Turn in ALL official school documents ON TIME.
Touch base with any schools at which you are wait-listed for a status check.
