Reach school – credentials may meet or are below published admission standards. (All “highly selective” schools should be considered a reach school for every student.)
Target school – credentials are in published range Academic safety – credentials definitely meet or
exceed published standards for the school Financial safety – school is an academic safety and
meets your financial situation
If you are planning appropriately, you should not need to apply to more than 7-8 schools.

Goal = by end of September
Make a calendar of deadlines

Some selective universities want to specifically offer admission to students who will accept
Show that they are the top choice by Applying early
Scheduling an official campus visit
Making multiple (thoughtful) contacts
Getting to know the rep for PCH (local fairs, high school visits, evening events in STL)
![Page 22: Senior Year & Beyond… · Senior Credit Letter Lists all requirements and what your student still needs to earn by May ... Lindenwood University Webster University Indiana University](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071009/5fc71875908f7264ec060b87/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Current perspectives Speak of character, academic achievements and
potential for collegiate success and community engagement
Core teacher(s) and/or counselor Ask in person – don’t just email or assume it will happen Follow up as deadlines approach
Outside/additional recommenders Coaches, research mentors, community leaders, employers
Give at least 3 weeks notice (provide reminders) FERPA – colleges want to know that the letters have
remained confidential Encourage your student to write thank you notes
![Page 23: Senior Year & Beyond… · Senior Credit Letter Lists all requirements and what your student still needs to earn by May ...

Should be student’s voice Watch for signs of too much help/editing
Room of anonymous essays - - could you identify which one was written by your child?
Caution them from repeating information already shared in application and/or resume
Should stay positive - - even if referencing a traumatic event, focus on the triumph
Remain on topic (them!) - - be sure the question has been answered
![Page 25: Senior Year & Beyond… · Senior Credit Letter Lists all requirements and what your student still needs to earn by May ... Lindenwood University Webster University Indiana University](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071009/5fc71875908f7264ec060b87/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Some colleges ask students to write about why they have chosen to apply to their institution - - this cannot be generic!
Research is critical to answer this question Exposure during campus visits
Conversations with admissions reps
Discussions with peers who attend
Knowing specific classes you are excited to take
Which clubs/activities on campus are you eager to join Don’t say that you want to attend their school only
because you love their sports team!!

Be prepared to answer and ask questions Dress nicely Research the college prior to meeting Answer to the best of your ability Be ready to talk about yourself Avoid one-word responses Bring your resume Turn off your cell Follow up with hand-written thank you note

Mizzou – will not accept test scores from PCH; no rec letters or essays; application date no longer used to determine housing selection priority (watch for housing contract in Nov)
KU, Illinios, UC schools – do not request transcript - - self report grades now; no rec letters or essays; wants only final transcript
Bradley – encourages 1 rec letter
Truman, Indiana & Wisconsin – accepts Common App or school app, so you must indicate in FC which you are using
Be cautious of invitations from colleges to apply -- are they a competitive applicant for that school?

Colleges performing “holistic reviews” = no guarantee for anyone Colleges have budgets and run out of money; more likely to be
admitted and awarded scholarships if you apply earlier Admission decisions can be very confusing Universities have annual “agendas” or strategic plans that are not
usually public knowledge If the college is tracking demonstrated interest, this is a very
subjective data point Selective universities do not have to provide financial incentives –
the “reward” is being admitted There are colleges who invite students to apply and then deny them Some colleges will admit wealthier students despite a more
marginal academic record

COA = Cost of Attendance
EFC = Expected Family Contribution Made up of the amount the parents “can” pay from their
income and assets + the amount the student can contribute from earnings plus savings account(s) + any amount that is being contributed as a non-repayable gift from any source.
The student and parents are responsible for paying what they can; financial aid is intended to supplementsuch efforts, not substitute for them.
![Page 35: Senior Year & Beyond… · Senior Credit Letter Lists all requirements and what your student still needs to earn by May ...

Schools use your EFC (Expected Family Contribution) to prepare financial aid packages (grants, loans, work-study) to help meet your financial need.
If you have unusual circumstances that affect your financial situation, contact the college’s financial aid office to discuss.

Going out of state, but wanting in-state tuition?? Not as common as you’d hope! Look for “Non-Resident” scholarships Examples: KU (must apply by Nov 1 and have 24 ACT and 3.25) Arkansas, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi – value of
scholarship tied to ACT and/or GPA Murray State – tuition calculated by looking at
average in-state tuition for Missouri Some Illinois public schools (SIU-Carbondale, SIU-
Edwardsville, Western Ill, Eastern Ill, Illinois State) –automatic if admitted
