HS SENIORS
- HS guidance departments typically require a list of schools to which you plan to apply Jan 1 early in Dec., so they can prepare. Give guidance counselors a list of your backups ASAP.
-
- If you applied to any schools Early Decision I or Early Action, begin contingency planning NOW, in case you get deferred or denied. Make sure your "back-ups" are slightly less selective your ED school (if you did not get in with ED advantage, you will not get into a similar school RD). This is where the Betterton Evaluator™ is a godsend!
-
- Visit and interview (if allowed) at any school to which you apply in January; let them know you visited. Demonstrated interest is especially critical if you apply without ED II; admissions officers can easily "read" an unenthusiastic shotgun approach.
- V
- Strongly consider applying Early Decision II for a January school that offers it (ED2 is becoming more popular and you may be at a disadvantage by ruling out this option).
-
- Start supplementary essays NOW for back-up schools. If you get deferred or denied, it will feel good to know these essays are at least started.
