• Complete College Applications Online, if possible.  If you need a paper application, call the admissions office at the college to request one.  Some applications are also available in the guidance office.
• Have someone proofread your application before you submit it.
• Complete a blue college application folder in the guidance office – please allow up to two weeks to process.

Things to include in your blue folder:
–Transcript Request
– Secondary School report (printed from your application – not all schools require one)
– Brag Sheet (if you want a counselor recommendation letter)
– Blue Activity Sheet
– Any other documents that your counselor needs to complete

• When your transcripts and supplemental information are complete, you will receive a notice in homeroom to pick them up in the Guidance Department.
• You are responsible for picking them up and mailing them. 
• Do NOT open the envelope!  It is sealed with an official stamp.  If you open it, it is no longer official & colleges will not accept it.

What is in the envelope?

– Your Transcript (includes Cum GPA, Rank, SAT scores & activities)
– Pennridge High School Profile
– Completed Secondary School report (if submitted)
– Counselor recommendation letter (if requested)

• Colleges will not review your application until they receive all the required information.
• SAT Scores:
  

– Please be aware that although your SAT scores are on the second page of your transcript, some schools (like Penn State) require official score reports from the College Board. 
–You are responsible for contacting the College Board and having your official scores sent.
