College Application & Recommendation Reminders
The first Early Action application deadline for many colleges and universities has passed. Make sure you check your email for any updates or requests from the school.
Please connect your SchooLinks account to Common App as soon as possible, even if you are not yet ready to submit your application. Connecting the platforms allows your counselors and teachers to upload required recommendation letters and supporting documents. Delaying this step can prevent school documents from being sent in a timely manner.
Additionally, counselor forms, teacher letters of recommendation, transcripts, and official test scores should be received by colleges by October 29 for most Early Action applicants. Review each college's requirements carefully, monitor your application portals for missing items, and contact your counselor if you have questions or need assistance.
