You have done the research. You have visited, questioned, read, and researched. You have applied to college. Now what? There’s still a lot to do!
If you've applied to a college, see when that college is visiting your high school. The admission counselor will be there and you can ask questions. Asking an admissions counselor means that your questions will get answered immediately. This saves time compared to an email and you can easily follow up with additional questions.
As you begin your senior year, double-check the courses you need for admittance. Make sure you will have what’s required upon graduation. During your semester break, if you’re considering course changes, don’t forget to talk about it with your admission counselor! Sometimes changing courses changes eligibility.
Speaking of changing eligibility, monitor your GPA. Did it go up during the semester? That could change your scholarship application. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to increase scholarship dollars!
All in all, staying in contact with your admission counselor is a good thing. Keeping them updated keeps you informed. Plus, their very existence is to help you through this monumental process. They are a partner, so use them and ask questions!
