Admissions Tips for High School Seniors The holidays bring a break from school that provides a good time for high school students to make progress in their college searches. The Meredith College Office of Admissions offers the following tips for high school seniors on making the most of this opportunity: 1.Still haven’t sent your SAT and/or ACT scores to Meredith? Contact the College Board to request them. Visit www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/scores.html for more information. 2.Complete your college admissions and scholarship applications and submit them in advance of the published deadline. Submitting complete applications well ahead of the deadline means your schools of choice are allotted more time to process your application and supporting credentials before the flood of mail arrives around the deadline date. And, if you are applying to schools with rolling admissions, the earlier you apply, the earlier you receive your decision! Still missing something for Meredith? Find it here. 3.Have you visited each of the schools to which you are applying? If not, pull out the calendar and find a date that works for you and your family. Don’t forget Meredith College’s last Senior Visitation Day is January 25! Register here if you’d like to attend. 4. If you have been admitted Early Decision to a college or university, or have made your final decision to attend a particular school, withdraw any active or incomplete applications you have at other colleges.
