<p>I will be applying for admission this spring. Is it alright to for me to introduce myself to my area's BGO before recieving the application packet, or is it better to wait until then?</p>
<p>Wait. You might have a BGO who is not the one that is listed (as I did).</p>
<p>There is no harm in introducing yourself now, especially if you have questions. Be sure to indicate what school you attend, as BGOs are typically assigned to a particular high school. Your BGO should have you in his/her system and would let you know if he/she isn't the correct BGO.</p>
