Ignoring Email and Lost College Opportunity
Posted on July 18, 2018 at 5:23 PM |
![]() |
If I could cause a change in teen behavior this year, it would be to get them to start paying attention to their college email. I understand their reluctance, they are spammed by colleges and college related organizations starting in sophomore and junior year. Some of the emails, thought to be spam, are actually genuine offers of waived application fees to selected colleges, the offer of abbreviated no-essay applications to others as well as scholarship offers if they apply by a specified date. The problem with not opening email regularly is that the offers almost always have an expiration date. In addition to ignoring emails from colleges in general, there is another tendency that is costing them opportunity. Many don't open emails from colleges where they have accepted an admission offer. By not doing that, they risk not registering for classes on time, missing out on scholarships, not getting admitted to honors and other special programs and not getting housing or a compatible roomie. College applicants and incoming freshmen-open your email...pass it on! |

that is not true. Today's seniors should be carefully monitoring their emails from colleges and complying with requests and filing scholarship applications every month into the summer and beyond. |
Ready for December 1 College Deadlines?

Thanksgiving weekend is the deadline to send in priority college admission applications at some colleges. A priority deadline is the deadline for your admission application to also automatically be considered for scholarships. If you have a December 1 deadline to meet, keep in mind that The Common Application has been experiencing technical challenges. Try not to wait until the last day to file. Good luck! |

Before seniors pack for a summer at the beach, here is the summer top ten to-do list that will help them have a successful fall semester in college:
The summer to-do list is an on-going list and not something a senior can do before summer begins. Colleges tend to communicate with students all summer making requests to complete arrangements for fall arrival. |
