An Update on Senior College Applications
Seniors can check the date in which their transcripts were sent to colleges by logging in to Naviance, going to Colleges I'm applying to, and then clicking on Manage Transcripts. Seniors can also check that teacher letters of recommendation have been submitted by clicking on the letters of recommendation link at the bottom of the Colleges I'm applying to page.
Interesting fact...
990 total College Applications were processed for the Class of 2019. How many applications have been processed for the Class of 2020 so far this year?
954! NICE WORK!
The next major application deadlines are November 15th and December 1st. Transcript requests for
December 1st application deadlines should be made by November 15th, due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.
