A FINAL NOTE TO SENIORS

A NOTE TO SENIORS:   For those applying to colleges this year, the early admissions deadline is nearly upon us.

This year there are more confusing options than ever before ---
binding early decision, non-binding early action and single
action early action.

SINGLE ACTION, EARLY DECISION means that even though you are
applying early action school,  (it is  non-binding)  you are NOT
allowed to apply to any other college via early decision.

Why consider applying early?  Early decision gives you the highest odds of admission followed by early action (followed by regular decision where the odds dropsharply at top schools).

Finalize those early applications! Take one last read through of all your material to make sure there are no typos and that everything is there. Don't forget to enclose the check or your application will not be processed. Make sure the app is postmarked by November 1.

ONE MORE THING!  Don't bother using FedEx — it is very expensive and does not improve your chances.   Use  the US mail with delivery confirmation, certified, return receipt requested, or overnight it (saving you about 2/3 of what you would pay Fed-Ex, and getting there perhaps faster is you have to go the overnight route.)   just so you know your materials arrived, or submit on line.

As long as initial application package is complete and  postmarked November 1, the arrival date doesn't matter.

Good Luck!
