| Words of Wisdom: | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Read through this web site thoroughly. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| �Read and follow the inforamtion provided by Mr. Roddy, CAP Advisor. If you are not receiving his e-mails, please see him to make any corrections. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| �Save everything. If you throw it away I can almost guarantee you will need it sometime in the future. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| �You can gain considerable knowledge about colleges and universities from the Internet and the many guide books available in the college resource room, libraries and at bookstores. My favorite written guides for facts about academic programs, extracurricular offerings, and admissions standards include: Peterson?s, Barrons, and The College Handbook. For subjective guides, I recommend The Fiske Guide to Colleges or The Insider's Guide to Colleges. (Students particularly enjoy these last two guides). For me, the internet is by far the best source for up-to-date college information. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Fill out your applications for SAT I/SAT II tests the same way every time inserting a middle initial can confuse a computer and cause you grief. REGISTER EARLY or you might not get your required test site!! | ||||||||||||||||||||
| �The school code is 101545. Put this number on every SAT I/SAT II and ACT registration. Without this code, neither our school or the state of Florida will receive yur scores. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| �Identify those colleges (particularly selective institutions) that have specific testing and course requirements early in the process. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| For questions about financial aid contact the CAP Office and consult the Financial Aid section of this site | ||||||||||||||||||||
| �If you have a special talent - music, drama, athletics - pursue that interest with each college. This is not the time to be modest. If the admissions committee doesn't know about your talent, they can't possibly react to it. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Make appointments for interviews early. (June is a good time, even for an October interview). Missing school for college visits and interviews is not advisable, however, may be approved, so plan to use late July and August, the week before school, and any long weekends. By mid-September some schools are booked completely for on-campus interviews. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| �Application Fee Waivers are available on the same basis as SAT I/SAT II Fee Waivers. See me if you have any questions. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| For additional pages which you attach to your application, always supply your NAME, SOCIAL SECURITY #, DATE OF BIRTH, as well as the QUESTION #. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| �Treat each application as if that school is your first choice. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| �ALL Secondary School Report forms should be brought in to the College Guidance Office as soon as you receive them. All teacher recommendation forms must be given to the teacher as soon as possible with all your personal data completed on the form. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| �If you have applied early, your mid-semester grades will go to the college to which you have applied from the College Guidance Office automatically. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| �Make copies of everything: applications, essays, financial aid forms. It is your responsibility to make copies for your files of your completed application. We will keep copies of all school related items. We do not make copies of your application. | ||||||||||||||||||||
