PALY DEADLINES for COLLEGE APPS. |
|
REMINDER -- Paly's deadlines for transcript requests and other materials are about a month earlier than the college's application deadline. [details -- click here]
| If you miss Paly's deadline, Paly will probably be unable to submit its part of your application by the due date. |
(This does not apply to UC & CSU; those applications do not go through Paly at all.)
More info you need about different kinds of college apps -- [here] & in Viking College & Career Planning Guide. |

COLLEGE REP VISITS |
| are a great way to get your questions answered, and to establish relationships with regional admissions officers (or staff of higher status!) who are often responsible for reading, and advocating for, our students' applications. Some colleges track students' "demonstrated interest", so attending a visit could be beneficial. To attend, you must do the following: |
• At least a
day
ahead -- |
Click here, print the form, fill it out, & obtain your teacher’s signature. |
| • At the visit -- |
Bring this signed form with you -- you must present it at the start of the visit. |
| • At end of visit -- |
A College Advisor will sign the form for you to return to your teacher. |
| • Don't forget -- |
Give your name to a C&CC volunteer, for the Attendance Roster that excuses your absence from class. |
|
| And if you can't skip a class to meet with the rep of a college you're especially interested in, you're encouraged to leave a note with a college advisor to pass along to the reps. |
