1. Compile a list of colleges you want to go to.
2. Download the Cover Sheet for the College Packet form from the Guidance Web page. Fill out the chart with the colleges you want to attend and the appropriate due dates. If you are applying for Early Decision (ED) or for Early Action (EA), indicate this on the space provided next to the due date. Be sure to tape it to the front of a 9 by 12 inch envelope.
3. Download the Recommendation Request Form and Parent Brag Sheet from the Guidance Web page and fill them out to help your counselor write your letter of recommendation.
4. Download the Transcript Request Form from the Guidance Web page. List all colleges that require a transcript and Mid-year Report form. The first two transcripts are free, and each transcript after that costs $10.
5. Print out the Secondary School Report and Mid-year Report Forms from each college that needs one. Complete the student portion and make sure to waive your rights. For schools that accept the Common Application, only include one copy.
6. For each school that requires a transcript, include a 6 by 9 inch envelope, addressed and return addressed (with Gunn's address). It must have three first class stamps.
7. For each college that requires a mid-year transcript, be sure to include a 4 by 9 inch envelope, addressed and return addressed with the school's address. Put one first class stamp on it.
8. Put everything in a large 9 by 12 inch envelope and double check to make sure all forms are included.
9. When you turn the packet in, be prepared to spend around five minutes with Registrar Tracy Douglas in the Guidance office going over your packet and making sure everything is there.

Note: For a 9 by 12 inch envelope, you must use four first class stamps.
