The ApplyTexas application, which enables students to apply to all Texas public schools and some private schools, now goes live on July 1. Students can start working on it before they even get to school in the fall! Get ahead on this important application with these tips, taken from the counselor training in the Texas OnCourse Academy.
One way to assist students and families in preparation for filling out an ApplyTexas application is to inform them ahead of time regarding the information to have on hand. Gathering information in this checklist before beginning an admission application will simplify the process.
Once they get into their applications, they can start working on essays (and make sure they've completed the optional portion for scholarship eligibility!) but the above list is a great jumping off point as students prepare this summer! All of this information and more is available in our ApplyTexas training. And if you're looking for more information about the application process, don't miss our resources on everything you need to know about college planning.
