Be Informed of College Application Deadlines!
- The Counseling department would like to inform college-bound
students that it is important to refer to each individual
school as to what is the submission deadline for applying
to the college either on-line or through the mail with
their completed applications and essays and/or personal
statements, if required.
- It is important to find out if the deadline is a "postmarked" deadline
or if it is an "in the admission office" deadline.
- All students applying to college should file their requests
for transcripts in the College
Transcripts Office, Room 103.
Students must:
- file their with their counselor
- file their with their counselor
- provide teachers an addressed stamped envelope for recommendations for each college
- complete a form for each application
- The first holiday schedule
deadline for Senior College Application Process is December
4, 2009 .
All students should file their transcript requests with
Mrs. Hall, Transcript Office, Room 103 two weeks prior
to the application deadline date. Due to the fact that
the Transcript Office will be closed over the Winter
Holiday, those applications with a deadline of January
1, 2010 must be in the Office Friday, December 4, 2009
by Noon. Those with a January 15, 2010 deadline must
be in by Noon on Monday, January 4, 2010.
- Include a 6x9 envelope properly addressed to the college
or institution with every transcript request (no postage
necessary). (Envelopes are available in the Transcript Office
at no charge.
- College Applications Reminders:
When preparing your applications, you no longer need to turn
in a Secondary School Report Form or Counselor Signature
Form from the College or Common Application. Lake Forest
High School has created a Secondary School Report Form
(SSR) and this form will be mailed out automatically.
Students’ Portion of the College Application Deadline-Students
either applying on-line or through the mail with their completed
applications and essays and/or personal statements, if required,
should refer to each individual school as to what their deadlines
are and whether they are “postmarked” deadlines
or “in the admission office” deadlines. Allow 10 days for LFHS to process your request.
A counselor signature is required on the Early Decision Forms.
Teacher recommendations require a stamped, standard business
size envelope, addressed to the college with Lake Forest
High School as the return address.
When checking applications on Naviance, it will always say
no request under the Transcript column. The information regarding
the transcript is stored in another Naviance area that the
students cannot access.
Once the transcript is mailed, please
allow one week for it to arrive at the college and three
to four weeks for the college to scan and process all the
materials before it is posted.
