College Admissions Representatives schedule visits to Bishop Ward throughout the academic school year.

Students are encouarged to listen to the announcements and attend meetings they are interested in and introduce themselves to representatives and ask questions.
Making the decision to apply early to a college is not always as simple as some might think. Below are the basic guidelines and things to consider when debating whether or not to apply early.
Students can be "accepted," "denied," or "deferred."
Students may apply to multiple colleges under an Early Action option but should be aware that this application option is reserved for your top choice of schools. Students should not apply to all of their colleges via Early Action as part of an admissions strategy.
Is BINDING- if you are accepted, you agree to attend.
Students may onyl apply to ONE college under an Early Decision option and, if accepted, must withdraw applications to all other universities.
DO NOT apply Early Decision unless you are 100 percent, bet-your-life-on-it positive about that particular college being the perfect fit for you.
Even when not applying EA or ED, students are encouragaed to get their applications finished and sent to the colleges as soon as they can.
Some colleges require (and some suggest) an application to be sent earlier than the actual deadline to be considered for scholarship opportunities.
When applying to a school with Rolling Admissions, it is wise to send applications as early as possible.
REMEMBER-Admissions application deadlines are different than financial aid deadlines. Be sure to check both dates!
