Checklist For College Application


Christine S. Baker
May 8th, 2009



When applying to schools and colleges, filling out the application and the required documents are important things that often become puzzling and stressful. Each school requires a definite set of documents. A few schools request some basic documents be stapled with the application form, whereas others demand a stipulated list of documents. Care has to be taken when filing these documents. The omission of one document can result in rejection of the application.

Required Documents and the Application Form

The list of required documents will be provided to you by the school authorities. In order to get the form and the list, you need to contact the admission office or visit the website of the desired college and university. Colleges have their own applications, but there some colleges that use a common form. If you deal with such a college having common application form, you need to focus whether or not the college wants an application supplement. Usually, these supplements have questions that are required by the college admissions office.

College Application and Academic Information

Most colleges and universities request a high school or GED transcript depending on the level of education of the applicant. For high schools students, college guidance counselors generally handle sending these transcripts. Not every school requires the standardized test scores but those that do ask the candidate to take the SAT or ACT and review the scores. The colleges usually consider the highest possible composite scores.

Personal Information Required To Sent To Colleges

The college admissions officers like to read essays and letters when admitting a student. A great letter from a teacher or an exceptional personal essay can prove to be a golden chance for a student to be accepted. When seeking admission, you need to find out whether such a letter or essay is required for the school.

Checklist for College Admission

Some of the documents that are common in most colleges are:

  • Letters of recommendation
  • Counselor recommendation
  • Test scores
  • Signature on all pages of the application
  • Copies of all forms and documentation enclosed
  • Transcripts
  • Orientation schedul
  • Application fee
  • Financial aid forms

After Sending the Application

Once you are done with your application, you can submit it to the admissions department of the college. You may also receive a financial aid reward letter. After you send documents needed by the college authority, you have nothing else to do until you are contacted by the college about acceptance or denial of the application.
