I'm a junior in high school and I want to apply to Windward Community College. Can anyone walk me through the application steps or share tips on what I should keep in mind when applying?
Applying to two-year colleges like Windward Community College is typically a straightforward process. Here are the steps you should follow:
1. Find the Application: If Windward Community College is part of the Common Application, you can apply through there. If not, visit Windward's official website to access the application form.
2. Complete the Application: Provide all the necessary information and complete all sections. This often includes your personal information, high school information and, potentially, test scores (depending on the institution's policy).
3. Submit Your Transcript: You’ll need to send your high school transcripts. There's typically a form you fill out, then your counselor sends the official transcript.
4. Complete FAFSA: To be considered for financial aid, you should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
5. Wait for a Decision: Once you’ve submitted all required documents, you’ll receive a confirmation that your application has been received. It may take several weeks to get your acceptance letter, as community colleges often have rolling admissions.
If there are specific programs or areas of study you're interested in, remember to look into those separate requirements as well. And always double-check each of these aspects on the college's official website or by calling their admissions office. Good luck!
