The time has come to hit the ground running. Here are some things that need your attention this fall.
Fall: Leave all options open. Remember, you are seniors and your senior year will be busy. October 1st, the FAFSA and WASFA open. To see if you should fill out the FAFSA or WASFA, please go Ready Set Grad for more information about financial aid. To find out more about the FAFSA, go to the FAFSA website to find out what you'll need to file an application. It's never too early to obtain your FAFSA ID.
You will need to file your FAFSA or WASFA to be eligible for financial aid or scholarships.

Fall 2021 Update!
The vast majority of colleges and universities around the nation have suspended the SAT and ACT score requirements, permanently, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Universities report that not taking the SAT or ACT will have no bearing on your application status. To ensure the most accurate information, please visit your college of choice, on their admissions website.
*Check with the admissions office at your intended college, to confirm their policy regarding the ACT or SAT.
