1. Citronelle High School Parent Newsletter February 2014 Preparing for College: Feb/March/April While most of your applications should be complete and you are waiting to receive admission decisions, don’t slack in the classroom. The college that you do attend will want to see your second semester transcript. No Senioritis! Acceptance letters and financial aid offers will start to arrive. Review your acceptances, compare financial aid packages, and visit your final choices, especially if you haven’t already. May May 1 is the date when the college you plan to attend requires a commitment and deposit. When you’ve made your college decision, notify your counselor and the colleges. Send in your deposit by the postmark date of May 1. If you’ve been offered financial aid, accept the offer and follow the instructions given. Also notify schools you will not attend of your decision. Make sure that you have requested that your final transcript be sent to the school you will be attending. If you are “wait listed” by a college you really want to attend, visit, call and write the admission office to make your interest clear. Ask how you can strengthen your application http://www.nacacnet.org Up Coming Events Prom April 5 th Senior Awards May 8 th Graduation May 17th Congratulations to the following students for being selected as Student of the Month of February.
