College Applications
Texas Public Colleges and Universities
Students wishing to apply to public colleges and universities in Texas can do so at http://www.applytexas.org/. Some private Texas colleges and universities will also take the Texas Common Application. A list of participating schools is located on the website.
Private Colleges and Universities
Students wishing to apply to private colleges and universities can do so at http://www.commonapp.org/ A list of participating schools is located on the website. Students applying to college using the Common Application must submit two teacher evaluations and the secondary school form (which includes a counselor recommendation letter). The required forms are located under the "Downloads" tab on the application website.
Out of State public Colleges and Universities
Students wishing to apply to out of state public colleges and universities will need to do so through the individual college or university website.
Recommendation Letters
Schools that request recommendation letters typically prefer 2-3 letters.
Students needing teacher recommendations should ask the teacher in person and then request it on Naviance. Please remember that teachers are not required to write recommendations and often must write them on their own time. Therefore, please give the teachers adequate time to write your letter and be understanding if the teacher is not able to write a letter for you. Some teachers have limits on the number of letters they will write.
All students who apply via the Common App need a counselor recommendation. The recommendation should be requested at least 3 weeks prior to the admission deadline. Counselors require the student to fill out a counselor recommendation packet (found in the document library on your Naviance account). After receiving the completed information, the counselor may schedule an interview for further information.
