Senior Guide

12th Grade

Sign up to take the SAT or ACT again this fall -- you might do even better this time. The ACT can be used as an alternative to taking the SAT. Consult your counselor for more information.  By October, select schools to which you’ll apply and write for application forms and financial aid information. Check with Asheboro High School Student Services Department often for scholarship information. Update your list of honors and extracurricular activities for your transcript. In November, complete college applications. If you are required to submit written recommendations, solicit them from counselors, teachers, and people in the community. The first deadline for many colleges for early admission is October and November. Many state-supported colleges request that applications be mailed during these months for early admission, and they sometimes fill their quota early. Therefore, if you are applying to a state-supported college, it is strongly advised you apply early.  By January, call admissions offices of schools to which you have applied and ask if they have received everything needed to process your application for admission or for scholarships.  Most colleges will send confirmation that all materials have been received. Along with your parents, plan to attend a financial aid workshop given at Asheboro High School. This workshop is usually given by the end of January. Respond to college offers of admission and/or scholarship. Notify the college or school you are planning to attend as well as those to which you were accepted but will not attend.  Keep working hard to maintain your good academic standing! Upon receiving your final transcript, colleges can rescind admissions if your performance is not adequate at the end of the year. The guidance department keeps an updated file on most colleges in North Carolina and can obtain information for you on out-of-state schools.
