The greatest part about applying to college is getting the heavy package in the mail, complete with an acceptance letter. Congrats! You got in. Now what?
- If required by your college, inform the Office of Admissions of your intent to enroll by the required due date.
- If you were accepted by more than one college, notify the ones you don’t plan to attend, so they can extend offers to other applicants.
- Schedule your classes wisely. Make sure you don’t overlap classes, and leave time for lunch and dinner. (Check cafeteria times to make sure you don’t miss meals.)
- Get involved in clubs, sports, activities and/or volunteer programs. These groups will help you meet people and stay involved with the school.
- Keep on top of your work and stay organized. Pay attention to the schedules your professors give you, and take it day by day. It’s wise to compile all your schedules into one, unified planner. This will help you stay organized and better plan your days.
- Study hard and set your priorities. Socializing is important, but failing or withdrawing from classes may affect your financial aid, and may not allow you to graduate by the time you’d like.
- Get to know your counselors, advisors and professors. They are there for you, so take advantage of their help and advice.
