Most colleges will release their applications sometime between August and October. Here are three ways to make sure you know when your schools release theirs.
1. Fill out the online forms to request more information. Submitting that form is the online equivalent of raising your hand and identifying yourself as a potential applicant.
2. If the admissions office maintains a blog, subscribe to it.
3. Follow the admissions office on Facebook or Twitter.
P.S. All three tips work just as well for counselors, too.
