College Application Process
College Application Calendar
Make a Date With College
It is only a general guide and does not apply to all colleges. Consult application materials, admission offices and college websites for the specific requirements and deadlines for each college.
Remember to also check the financial aid calendar, to make sure you meet those important deadlines.
The Summer Before Senior Year
- Visit colleges that interest you. Get the campus tour schedule. Arrange an on-campus interview with an admission representative.
- Create a resume — a list of your accomplishments, activities and work experiences. Your resume can help you complete your applications and essays.
- Keep a college calendar of all admission deadlines.
- If you plan on competing in Division I or Division II college sports and want to be eligible to be recruited by colleges, register with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Initial Eligibility Clearinghouse.
- If you took AP® Exams in May, look for your AP score reports in July.
- Register early for fall test dates for the SAT® and SAT Subject Tests™.

- Contact your school counselor — your counselor plays a big role in helping you get into college. Meet to talk about your college plans and review your transcript.
- Finalize your list of colleges. Be sure you list "safety" colleges, as well as “probable” and "reach" colleges. Review college applications and informational materials. Organize materials into separate files by college.
- If you plan to apply through an early decision or early action program, get started on your applications right away. Deadlines for early applications tend to be in November.
- Begin working on your college essays. Think of topics that focus on your experiences and make you stand out from the crowd.

January

May
- If you take any AP Exams, make sure your AP score report is sent to your college.
