Levittown, NY (PRWEB) October 27, 2024 -- We strongly urge you to complete your applications well ahead of the deadlines, at least a week before the stated deadline. A great method to make that happen is to review the application materials as soon as you receive the applications from the various schools. Any forms to be completed by guidance counselors and teachers should be distributed well ahead of the stated deadline times. We know of several friends whose hopes of attending individual schools were scuttled by a disorganized, overwhelmed, or misdirected teacher. Check on the status of your recommendations before the last minute. Also, make additional copies of whatever portions you plan to submit so that you may quickly re-send your application forms should they be somehow mutilated or lost. Dogs are hungry for applications this year, we hear.

If your parents do not have good credit, you may face troubles getting any company to give you a loan for college. Therefore, it may be required of you to obtain a grandparent, family friend, or other relative, who is then willing to cosign for you and your parents regarding a college loan. Be prepared to pay back these loans after college, however, as you are putting others at risk who may have cosigned for you if you do not pay back your loans!
