<p>AZ’s cutoff is said 213, so you should be golden.</p>
<p>Unless you are home schooled, the letter goes to your principal. According to this post <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/13198018-post575.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/13198018-post575.html</a>, the letter reads, “Except for your family and principal, this information is confidential until Wednesday, September 14, 2011…” Your counselor sounds confused on two counts. First, prior to September 14, the information is confidential to everyone except you, your family, and your principal. He/she could have told you and/or your family, and technically (but not practically in my opinion) shouldn’t have told the counselor! Second, as of September 14, it’s public information and could very well show up in your hometown newspaper. Is that the way they want you to find out? I don’t know where any AZ lists are published. You might try Google.</p>
<p>The application deadline is a point of some debate in another thread. Your school can either do online application or paper application. I think that if it’s online, October 3 might be the deadline to have your information entered. If paper, I believe the school has to have the entire packet in by October 12, so your principal/counselor might ask you to have your material to them a few days before then to make sure everything happens by the time it’s supposed to. You’re wise to stay on top of this.</p>
