Seniors, Stay on Top This Summer!

To all you high school seniors out there, I want to say a quick congrats for making it this far! But while you hopefully know your college plans for next year, there are still some last minute items you should stay on top of.

Your final HS transcripts should be available any day now, and it’s important to remember to have these sent to your college or university. The final transcripts can have a big impact on your college admission. Schools can not only revoke an acceptance if you show significantly poorer grades, but any merit aid you may have received could also be in jeopardy. While these are extreme cases, it’s still important to get your final transcripts in!

During the early summer months, you should find out when tuition and room and board payments are due. You can also look into different payment plans that the school may offer. If you’re worried about finding ways to pay for school, it’s not to late to look into private student loans. They do not take long to approve and you can apply anytime throughout your college career.

While you’ll probably be busy working or relaxing this summer, make sure to check your mail and email regularly. Over the summer months, schools will bombard you with important notifications and forms. You wouldn’t want to miss sending in your roommate selection form, because who knows who you would end up living with!?

While it’s important to have fun this summer, just remember to keep tabs on any upcoming deadlines and stay up to date on your college admissions news!
