Important Info For Seniors!!
UC/CSU Application Labs THIS WEEK!
Period 2 to 7 in the A2 lab-teacher permission is required. Please bring a transcript. You need to know your parent's estimated income and ssn# if you have one. Please come at the start of the period. Get started on the apps before coming. CSUMentor.edu for Cal stats and universityofcalifornia.apply.edu for UC's. CSU and UC apps are due by November 30th! Please do not submit them until we have checked them. It's easy to make mistakes that could keep you from getting in. Let's use this week to get them going.
If you already applied to CSU, be sure to:
1. finish the EOP portion if you are low income
2. sign up for placement tests if you need them.
Watch you mail and email for requests from the colleges. Keep and read everything you get.
SAT/ACT tests
The last test date for Seniors is December. If you want to attend any four year college, you must test by then. The CSU's require the ACT or the SAT reasoning test and the UC's also require two SAT Subject tests. The late deadline for December is this Friday, November 19th. You cannot use fee waivers-you must pay with a credit card. Sign up for SAT's at collegeboard.com. Sign up for the ACT at act.org. Be sure to send the scores tot he colleges (use the codes-you can do this after you test as well). Questions? Ask your counselor.
You do not need an ACT or SAT test for community colleges or for trade/tech/art colleges.
Next Focus:
Private and out of state colleges. Deadlines are from December 1 to March. Start doing research after you finish CSU and UC apps.
