Look for this in other colleges as well. • LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION: Get them now and save them in the Counseling Office. • More selective schools: Make sure you send ACT scores directly from ACT (UWGB/U of M/MSU etc).

  12. CAMPUS VISITS: make sure you arrange to meet with a counselor as well. • FYI – School policy allows for a limited number of pre-arranged absences (to visit a college campus). College’s are aware of the importance of school attendance and gladly arrange weekend visits and tours. • Those interested in apprenticeships, legwork must be done in the beginning of the year to meet application deadlines.
