The College Roadmap

Seniors: What to do in April

1) Decide which school you will attend and send in your tuition deposit. If you're having trouble deciding which school to attend, read our articles on choosing a school.

2) If you've been accepted to schools that you have decided you definitely will NOT attend, notify them, in writing, that you have selected another institution. Do this my May 1. There are many students on wait lists hoping to fill your spot.

3) If you are on a wait list for your preferred school, contact them this month and notify them that you are still very much interested in going to their school.

4) Remind your parents to find out if they are eligible for the HOPE and Lifetime Learning Tax Credits.
