Center before the end of school.  It contains helpful hints and useful web
sites so that you can work on college applications and deciding where to
apply over the summer.  If you are planning to apply to any private

the summer.  The Senior Profile is not needed if you are only applying to
UC’s, Cal States or Community Colleges.
