College Application Info & Resources

-


Application Reminders & Tips:
  • Applying through Early Decision is a binding commitment 
  • It is recommended to apply to 8 - 12 schools, based on selectivity: 
  • Reach Line = 35% (if a school accepts less than 35% of applicants, categorize it as a reach)
  • Colleges that don’t accept Common App: Rutgers, Georgetown, MIT, UC 
  • Transcript / School Document Requests must be submitted at least 10 school days before the application is due 
  • Rutgers & UC schools don't require transcripts or recs (just add these to Naviance) 
  • Apply well before the college’s deadline (2 weeks suggested) 
  • Aim to finish your Common App Personal Statement by October 1st 
  • Connect with colleges to demonstrate interest - visits, interviews, reps at Biotech, etc. 
  • Clean up your digital footprint / social media profiles
