-Take SAT I: Reasoning Test and SAT II: Subject Tests well before
college deadlines. Colleges should receive scores about three
weeks after the test, but it can take longer. Be on the safe side.
-Make sure to always request applications, brochures, and financial
aid information from colleges. Try to narrow your college interest
list to five to eight colleges if possible.
-Make as many college visits as possible, get a feel for the college/campus
lifestyle.
