Tip of the Week:
Be mindful of application deadlines! Colleges open your "file" as soon as they recieve your completed paper or online application. Therefore if you have not taken the SAT or want to retake it or if you haven't received your final letter of recommendation yet, do not let that prevent you from mailing in the application materials you DO have!
