MYTH: My grades during my last term in high school do not affect my college admission.

FACT: Colleges may reserve the right to deny admission to an accepted applicant should the student’s senior-year grades drop.

Colleges see both a midyear grade report and a final (year-end) transcript and they expect students to maintain previous levels of academic success. The pressure is not off - keep up the good work!

Urban Dictionary describes this as “a crippling disease that strikes high school seniors. Symptoms include: laziness. Also features a a generally dismissive attitude.”

Ensure that you are set-up to receive, record and respond to any and all messages from the college campuses to which you applied.

You cannot miss deadlines.
Many colleges use a messaging system that is contained inside their student online portal – if so, set up a schedule to log in and check your message inbox. Colleges may send you emails that include deadline tasks and requests for more information. Make sure they are going to spam or getting lost in your busy inbox. Check your U.S. Mail box too!
