High School Seniors Accepted to College!

Many colleges and universities across the country have released admission decision for some rolling, early and priority application deadlines. This will continue over the course of the next few weeks. 

Colleges will furiously review applications and complete decisions in an effort to be among the “first to hit the streets.” There’s a belief in admissions, and it does hold some credibility, that the first acceptance letter a student receives, will endear the student to the school and make him or her more likely to enroll. 

Decisions from early application deadlines will continue to roll out through mid-January.

Be sure to check your email for important communication from each college about when and how they will notify you of their decision. Some schools notify online, others through the mail. 

To those who have been accepted to college, congratulations! If you’re still waiting, the letters are coming…I promise!
