5th year Students should be filling out college
applications starting in September of their 5th year. Students need to
meet the fall deadlines at colleges in order to be considered for
scholarships offered at that school (usually in October or November -
check colleges' admissions websites for deadlines.)
Here are the things that you will need to submit in order to apply to 4-year colleges and universities:
The Application: CFNC is a great place to start to find all applications for NC schools
The Application Fee: See Mrs. Wicker if you think you might qualify for a fee waiver
High School Transcript: Send your high school transcript to NC schools from
CFNC's Transcript Manager . Also, let Mrs. Wicker know where you are applying and if you would like for her to mail a hard copy.
College Transcript: Go
to the Bailey Building to get your College Transcript sent to the
schools where you are applying. (Not all schools want this; call the
admissions office and ask, or just send it anyway just in case.)
Letters of Recommendation: Ask
now! 2-3 Teachers, bosses, community members who know you well (not all
schools want these). Be sure to give them a copy of your resume when
you ask for a letter of recommendation (and if you need help with a
resume, talk to Mr. Hutchman).
SAT and/or ACT Test Scores: See
the link to the left for more info. These must be sent through the
students College Board (SAT) or ACT Student account online.
Essay: This is part of the application. Not all schools require an essay.
Come see Mrs. Wicker or email her with any questions. Elizabeth.wicker@bcsemail.org
