<p>Ok, well I just noticed my schools deadline was a week ago for all applications, but I'm sure there just saying that so we can hand it in earlier. Now I did most of my stuff, but im freaking out. I'm wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me out? Such as reviewing if I did all my stuff correctly? and If I'm missing something?
Perhaps if anyone has aim? </p>
<p>Thank you so much</p>
<p>You mean your high school? Or colleges you're applying to?</p>
<p>If it's your high school, you should talk to your administration/counselors/whatever.</p>
<p>If it's your colleges... find some different colleges, I guess.</p>
<p>Its that I need help on what I should do.
I have my sat scores, and transcript, and recommendations.</p>
<p>But I have yet to hand in my essay. I printed out the page on common app that had the essay topics, but am I supposed to print everything out?</p>
<p>And where do I get those yellow mail package? My deadline was a week ago, so Im worried.</p>
<p>Plus they said for umich rolling, I need to hand it in by october 7, which was a month ago. Which I am even more worried that I cant hand in my stuff to them.</p>
<p>errrrr</p>
<p>plus some colleges require 3 essays or more, so therefore do I need them all in by the deadline of my school? or just the common app and the other essays later?</p>
<p>Most schools have a "preferred" deadline and will accept late submissions--but there are exceptions. For example, Emory won't accept late applications to their business school from transfer students--only from students already enrolled at Emory or Oxford College (which is part of Emory).</p>
<p>Just get the stuff sent in as soon as possible--and no, they don't expect you to hand it to them, they just mean to get it sent as soon as possible.</p>
<p>When in doubt, always send everything to the admissions office. Usually, though, the school will send you a packet (or an email) telling you where to send supplemental materials.</p>
<p>P.S. How late is most of your stuff? And is it only the essays that you are missing?</p>
<p>Also, if you did miss the Fall deadline, check out whether they have a summer deadline or a Spring deadline. For some schools, the summer semester deadline is later than the Fall Semester deadline, but if you enroll in the summer, then you can just continue taking classes once the Fall Semester arrives.</p>
<p>yes im just missing the essay.. i think.</p>
<p>I have my transcript,sat, and recommendations.</p>
<p>Is there anything else im missing?</p>
<p>Also, where do I have to buy those yellow mail package myself?</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>You can get envelopes at either a local stationery store or at a UPS store or even at your local post office they will have something similar that you can use.</p>
<p>Besides the grade transcript (which has to be signed), the SAT scores (which you should have sent by collegeboard.com), the teacher and any business contact recommendations, and the essays, you should also include a copy of the application (if you haven't already sent it), and any personal statements or school counselor statement (if one is needed). You should also send copies of any special awards you received if they are unusual--like a top scientific research award, or a paper that was published in a journal. </p>
<p>Also, see if they have asked for financial aid info to be sent. In most cases, they won't need this now--and will ask for it later. Some schools want to get it now since they are not need-blind in determining who gets admitted.</p>
<p>Lastly, make sure to put down personal information so they can match the new stuff to the original application. For example, if your name is John Smith, it is likely that there are five John Smith's applying to your university--so they will need to know which John Smith you are. So include your name and address--or if they've already assigned you a student ID number or application number, use this--and make sure your name and this number is listed on every page of everything you send.</p>
<p>Also, you should call the school where you are sending your stuff in about a week and a half after sending it. The purpose of this call should be to make sure they got your stuff and that it is now in your file--and to be sure that there is nothing else they need from you before making their admission decision.</p>
<p>Lots of times this stuff will get lost (it happens when you have schools that have 15,000 people applying each year and over 35,000 already enrolled). Don't get frustrated, just get the stuff they need and re-send it ASAP, then call again later to see if this second package was received.</p>
<p>The sooner they have your stuff, the sooner the decision gets made, and ,usually, the sooner you find out if you were accepted (unless the school is like one of the UC campuses or a school like NYU, where all the decisions are sent out on the same day after every application has been looked at). Anyway, this usually is best for you--so try to get them the data right away.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>what application? the common app?</p>
<p>No, your application--the one you (hopefully) already sent to the school.</p>
<p>Each school has it's own application form. Some schools allow you to use this application form or the "common application" form that is used by approximately 80 schools. Every school's application form can be found by going to the school's website and accessing the admissions link.</p>
<p>For example, here is where you would go to apply for admission to Indiana University at Bloomington:</p>
<p>Online</a> Application: Office of Admissions: Indiana University Bloomington</p>
<p>and here's where you'd go to apply to the University of Southern California (USC):</p>
<p>and here is where you would go to apply to Cornell University:</p>
<p>Cornell</a> University Undergraduate Admissions Office - HOW TO APPLY</p>
<p>Notice that Cornell says to use the "common application" and then provides a link to it.</p>
<p>Oh, and one other thing to include--which I failed to mention--is the check for the application fee.</p>
<p>Why don't you grab your guidance counselor tomorrow?</p>
