You've made it to your SENIOR YEAR!
Late August and September
- Update your CFNC account (if you have forgotten your account information, contact Ms. Simpson). And if you don't have an account, create one ASAP. You will need this account for applying to schools AND sending transcripts.
- Register for the October 3rd SAT (by September 3rd) or October 24th ACT (by September 18th). If you are eligible for free or reduced lunch (or meet certain income guidelines) then you qualify for fee waivers. See Ms. Simpson!
- Attend the CACRAO (Carolinas Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers) College Fair at Surry Community College on Monday, September 21st. More information to come!
- Start investigating and applying for scholarships. Most institutional scholarships are due in the fall so check your schools' dates and deadlines.
- Meet with Ms. Simpson to discuss the best match and fit for YOU.
- Start thinking about teacher recommendations if you will need one (either for college applications or scholarships). Think about which teachers know you, and your work, well. ASK first, and give plenty of warning (teachers are busy). Provide specifics on the college or scholarship, and offer to sit down with the teacher to discuss your goals.
- By the end of September, have your college list ready (at least 4 schools), and know the specific deadlines and requirements for each school. A calendar will be your best friend (use those college planners).
