Seniors should be scheduling their senior meetings to review their future plans with their counselor! Deadlines are approaching. If you have an October 15th Early Action deadline, you should have already requested your transcript in Naviance (two-week prior notice is requested to make sure all your materials arrive by your deadline). Other popular early action/early decision deadlines to keep an eye on are: November 1st, November 15th, and December 1st. Please make note of your financial aid deadlines. Many financial aid deadlines are different than your application. You do not want to miss out on an opportunity to receive aid. This information should be clearly marked on the school's financial aid website.
