Seniors: Double-Check ALL Your College Applications for Accuracy!

posted in: Uncategorized | 0

If you don’t report your classes or grades accurately you could be admitted (or denied!) under false pretenses. It’s crucial to make sure everything is completely accurate, as the college could rescind your admission if it’s found out your reported grades or test scores were in error. Your GPA plays a huge role in your college acceptances so make sure you fill in the correct grades! Double check your application so there aren’t any errors getting in the way of your being admitted. Seniors tend to be overloaded with all that needs to be done, but don’t rush those college applications. Spend a lot of time making sure every detail on your college application is factually correct. Pay close attention to providing accurate details to every question. We recommend you spend 30 minutes per day on college applications all season long, so you are not too taxed or overwhelmed on any one day. Also, have a trusted person double-check your application for errors.

Getting something simple like your Social Security number wrong can hold up your application for weeks while other students are being reviewed. Don’t let your many years of hard work go to waste because of sloppy application errors. College admission reps have thousands of applications to read and applications that appear to have mistakes may be set aside while others are reviewed. The amount of extra time it takes to get your application looked at because of a small inaccuracy could be the difference between your getting admitted or being denied.
