December is a crucial month for seniors in the college application process. You should be taking the SAT and/or the ACT in December, with possible plans to take the test(s) again in the spring.Most colleges want your tests to be taken by December, and some want them taken even sooner, so check with the colleges to which you are applying to make sure you are taking your tests on time. December 1st is the first application deadline for many schools. Being aware of all your prospective schools application due dates and staying on top of these deadlines will help reduce some of the anxiety and stress that is inevitable about this process. Make sure your transcripts, recomendations and all necessary additons are ready for submission when needed. Keep your eyes and ears open for admission representativess visits to your school or the area. A lot of schools use the first of the month as a last push for admissions counselors to get out information about the school before application deadlines approach. Also use this time to start reseaching scholarships, although these too may have December or close by deadlines. Use the resources and guidance of your school counselor or college plannning advisor. As the holidays approach, be mindful of the impeding application fees and ask relatives to sponsor your application costs as gifts.
