It’s about that time of year – applications are pouring in, the phone lines are flooded with calls, and admissions counselors are buried under stacks of files.
You’ve sent in your Common Application, checked with guidance to make sure that they’ve sent along their packet, what’s next?
Verification Form!
Here at Holy Cross we require one final piece of information from you, a verification form. This magical piece of paper will arrive to you in the mail 7-10 days after you send in your application. Enclosed with a letter thanking you for your application, you will find a light purple sheet of paper.
When you receive the form, you will need to do the following:
• Check over the information at the top and make sure that it is accurate
• Provide your social security number and birth date (we often have duplicate names in our system, and need to make sure that we can match you to your application)
• Answer the questions regarding standardized testing, contact with Holy Cross, and limited enrollment programs (*note – we will not use your testing unless you check off the “Yes” box on this form, nor can you be considered for biology or premed with out returning the form)
• Mail the form back in as soon as possible!
It’s simple, quick, and easy! It will take two minutes and I’d highly recommend filling it out as soon as your receive it, before it makes it’s way to that universal “to be answered” stack of papers in your house.
That’s it from me. Have a great holiday, and enjoy your break from school!
