College Application Process

Counselors will be available during Bruin Block to answer questions and help students through the college application process. All resources, tutorials and videos will be shared on this website for students to reference throughout the college application process. Please consult with your School Counselor with any questions you may have!

The College Application process can be an exciting and anxious time. Please review the 4-Year College Checklist below for step-by-step instructions. Remember to use the College Application Organizer for researching important deadlines, testing/essay requirements, and Letters of Recommendation.

The College Application process is all electronic. Colleges collect your documents as you submit them, think of it as an electronic filing cabinet. There is no order that you have to submit each piece. The college will start collecting your documents and filing them away until the deadline.
