Read this, please, if you plan on applying to four year colleges!
Last minute reminders:
1. UC and CSU applications are due online this Friday, November 30th. We are finished with workshops, so you'll need to get going if you have not finished already!
CSU application is on www.csumentor.edu
UC application is on www.universityofcalifornia.edu
You need a transcript to complete them and you need a counselor to check before submitting. Please come in before Friday to get help.
Mrs. Hall's students may send username and password to my home email for checking: saradiershall@yahoo.com. Please include your cell # too.
2. SAT/ACT must be completed by December for four year colleges. If you have not tested, your only option to to test "standby" this Saturday. Go to South Hills or West Covina High; bring your photo Id, pencils and calculators. You may not get in! Be there REALLY early-we suggest 7am.
3. Most private/out of state colleges are not due until January 1st, but USC is due this Saturday, December 1st if you plan to apply for scholarships. These application is on www.commonapplication.org. You need a counselor to complete the school report and a teach to write a letter of recommendation. This is a time consuming application-no way to do it last minute. USC is very selective, so if you are not very strong, don't apply there. Almost all other private colleges are on the common app, so take a look at it after you've finished your CSU/UC applications.
Do not wait until Friday to get help. This is your life and your future.
We will have group meetings with all Seniors on December 13th to go over the FAFSA (Financial Aid and Scholarships), and will meet with undocumented Seniors December 6th during 5th period in the Little Theater to discuss the Dream Act. These meetings will be for all colleges-2 year, 4 year, and trade/tech.
