Seniors, as part of your college preparation activities have you ...

• Made a list of all the awards and citations you have received over the last four years to include with your college application?
• Made a list of the PACE classes, activities, and trips you have participated in to include with your college application? Consider doing the same for other educational, cultural or community organizations in which you have participated.
• Checked the deadlines associated with the colleges and scholarship programs to which you are applying to ensure that you have enough time to gather all the materials you need to send in? Note that many national and school-sponsored scholarship programs have deadlines in the Fall timeframe.
• Set a goal for yourself to send out applications to your top school choices by no later than December 1, or some other appropriate date?
