06.16.09 | Get your conditional acceptance

Posted in College Admissions, College Applications by David Edward

One of the most important summer’s in your life is the one leading up to you senior year of high school. That’s the time to begin visiting college campuses and narrowing down your wish list. Then, in the fall, you can apply to your top choices.

It’s important to note that many school’s do charge an application fee ranging from $25 to $100 so it could end up costing you a few bucks if you have several choice schools in mind. That said, it is advisable to hedge your bet so to speak and apply to more than one school.

Some schools will grant you a conditional acceptance within a few weeks after receiving your application. Conditional just means they must verify the prior learning experiences you claim. But if you don’t hear anything for a few months don’t panic. The admissions process is very slow, which is why most apply nearly a year out and don’t discover if their application has been accepted for four to six months. Just be patient.

Slow and steady wins the race – just like that stealthy turtle that outsmarted Bugs Bunny.
