Early Action and Early Decision Deadlines are Approaching!

This should not be news to those of you who are in the final throes of completing your EA or ED submission - deadlines are approaching!! Make sure all your ducks are in a row, your SAT or ACT score reports sent, your school forms submitted with pre-addressed envelopes and return address labels, your teacher recommendations all set. Most of all, make sure that your guidance counselor and recommenders know of the deadline, whether it is November 1, November 15, or December 1. And most of all, good luck!!

Did You Know?

Imagine only sending your best SAT scores to colleges and deleting the rest. Well, you can! Since March 2009 the College Board has offered Score Choice. You can choose one SAT sitting to send to colleges, and hide the rest. This also applies to SAT II Subject tests. Needless to say, college admissions officers have mixed feelings about the program. Some agree that it will take some pressure off high school students, while others will still demand that applicants submit all of their SAT or ACT scores.  To read more click here.
