Senior/Junior Section

1. May 1 Deadline - May 1 is the deadline to send in your Statement of
Intent to Register (SIR) to most colleges and universities.  For most
schools, if you do not send in your SIR and your deposit (if required)
by May 1, you will not be able to attend that school in the fall.  You
may only send in a SIR to one school.  It is unethical to tell more
than one school that you plan to attend their college in the fall.  If
you have questions at all, please stop by to see Ms. Abrams or Mr.
Saraceno at lunch or after school.
