• April is the month during which many colleges offer accepted students on campus and local Pre-Admit programs and receptions. If you can, take advantage of these college-sponsored events, as well as visit campuses on your own.

• Follow-up with any college to which you have been waitlisted with whatever materials they ask of you. See Guide 15, The End of The Admissions Road for what to say and do about wait-lists.
