Be On The Lookout!
• Schools will email with offer to apply early
(priority application) and for free!
• This is legitimate and it is important your
student follow the directions!!
(e.g. Willamette, University of Portland,
Gonzaga, etc. will send notices—don’t need
essays, letters, etc. if apply by this date! DO it!)

Proofread! Proofread! Proofread!

• Expect to see performance that indicates you are ready for college-level work.
• Final transcripts sent to college of enrollment.
• It is not rare for a college to withdraw an offer of admission when grades drop significantly over the course of the senior year.
• REMEMBER: 2 hours a week on Applications starting now!
• Where are the essays????????????????????
