Managing Submissions

• Review the completed application for consistency and to make certain a unified picture of the student is presented
• Decide if a letter of explanation should be entered to describe a special circumstance (injury, illness, death in the family, emotional problems) affecting a grade or grades in a specific semester
• Advise the student on any additional information to provide admissions after the application has been filed; when to do this; how to reaffirm the continuing interest in the college after the application has been received but before an admission decision is made
• Contact admissions counselors to gauge student's chance of acceptance at choice of colleges and determine how to enhance chance of admission
• Discuss how to appeal an admissions deferral
