College  Applications

New Trier does not supply college applications (exception: University of Illinois, Urbana/Champaign).  You must get the application on the web or write directly to the college and request application forms.  A few schools will send us a supply of applications which are in boxes on top of the file cabinets or the individual college file in Room 201.

When you fill out an application, be sure to sign it and attach the application fee (if there is one) and your picture (if requested by the college) with your name on the back of the picture.

Bring the entire application to Room 201 when you have completed your part.  All secondary school report forms and counselor recommendation forms are to be given to your college counselor--not to your advisor. Teacher recommendations should be given to the teachers with a stamped, addressed envelope; they will mail their letters directly to the colleges.  Teachers are asked to write letters fro many students.  Please keep this in mind and watch deadlines!  It is strongly recommended that teachers forward a copy of their recommendations to the Post-High School Counseling Office.

The first three applications that you submit are processed with your fee bill.  There is a $5.00 fee for each additional application (transcript).  You may have $5.00 in cash or a check made out to NEW TRIER HIGH SCHOOL.

Reporting Test Scores to Colleges

It is your responsibility to see that the appropriate SAT I and/or ACT and or SATII/Subject Test scores are sent to the colleges.  If you did not code your college(s) at the time you registered for the tests, you can fill out additional score report forms in order to have your scores sent.  Most colleges require official test scores; this means that they must be received from the testing offices in a sealed envelope -- not from the high school or the students.  Additional score report forms may be obtained from the Testing Center in Room 221.
