| Applications |
| Applications for the University of California and the California State University are available at their respective websites, www.universityofcalifornia.edu/apply and www.csumentor.edu. Applications for UC must be filed between November 1 and November 30. Applications for CSU must be filed between October 1 and November 30. Some CSU campuses may be open later, but there are no guarantees. Most other colleges, including community colleges, will post their applications on their individual websites. A handy resource for locating the website of any American college or university is www.clas.ufl.edu/CLAS/american-universities.html. Over three hundred private colleges and universities will accept the Common Application in lieu of their own. If a student is applying to more than one of these, it would be a great timesaver to utilize this service. For more information, see www.commonapp.org. A few private school applications are available in the guidance room (200B). |

| The counselors provide application workshops at lunch. Counselors also are willing to check applications, including essays, on request. Tips for writing essays are available in 200B. |
| |
| Letters of Recomendation |
| Many colleges require letters of recommendation as a part of their acceptance procedures. A student who wishes a faculty member to write a recommendation should provide a request form with a stamped, addressed envelope and allow a minimum of two weeks for the teacher or counselor to complete the letter or standardized form. A list of the student’s interests and activities (“brag sheet”) is also required. Request forms and brag sheets are available in 200B. |
