Some Tips on Applying

• Try to identify the schools that you want to apply to well before the Fall semester of your senior year. This will give you ample time to look through the specific requirements each school has.
• For schools that you are applying to, it is a good idea to browse through their application early so you can make sure you meet all the requirements the school has for applicants (eg. What type of SAT II exams you need to take).
• When you choose which schools to apply to, make sure to strike a balance between applying to schools you have a good shot of getting in to and those schools that are more difficult to get in to. Don’t be afraid to apply to the best places, but make sure you have some backups that you’re confident of getting in to just in case.
• Some schools have Early Action and Early Decision policies. You can apply early and get a response early on whether you got in or not. Some schools require you to enroll if you apply early. If you are applying to such a school, make sure to check what the school’s early application policy is and to be sure you really want to go to that school if you do Early Decision.
