After pushing the \u201csubmit\u201d button on the <a href=\"https:\/\/eservices.minnstate.edu\/adm\/public\/studentWelcome?campusId=074&amp;appType=undergrad&amp;_ga=2.129944901.83086741.1540321023-298958393.1534270583\">application<\/a>, you may be left wondering what the next steps of the application process are. Here are six steps that you should take after applying to WSU.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>1. Pay the Application Fee<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>After submitting the application, you will need to pay the application fee of $20. You can pay the fee online or by calling the WSU cashier at 507.457.5076. The fee may be waved in specific instances if you have a valid fee waiver request.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>2. Send in Your High School Transcript<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Next, you will want to ask your high school counselor how to go about sending in your official high school transcript to WSU. Your high school counselors will be of great help during the time of your application process and will be knowledgeable of different college criteria.<\/p>\n<p>When I submitted my transcript last fall, my high school used a website called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parchment.com\">Parchment<\/a>. This website may be used at your college as well. Transcripts can be sent to <a href=\"mailto:admissions@winona.edu\">admissions@winona.edu<\/a> or you may mail them to:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">WSU Admissions PO Box 5838<br \/>\nWinona, MN 55987-5838<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Share Your ACT or SAT Score<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Next, you will need to send in your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.act.org\/content\/act\/en\/products-and-services\/the-act.html\">ACT<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collegeboard.org\">SAT<\/a> score to WSU. You can go about doing this in two different ways.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Option 1: <\/strong>When registering for the test, you can select Winona State University so your score may go directly to WSU after you have taken the test.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Option 2: <\/strong>If you did not choose to send your results to WSU ahead of time, you can login to your ACT or SAT account online and request them to send your score for you. When they ask for a school code you can enter 6680 for your score to be sent to WSU.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>4. Take Note of Important Dates<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>After you send in the application fee, official high school transcript, and ACT or SAT score, it is important to look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winona.edu\/admissions\/undergraduate\/important-dates.asp\">important, upcoming dates<\/a>. Some of these dates include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Starting September 1, applications may be sent in for Fall 2019. After September 17, WSU will start mailing application decisions. The sooner you apply, the better!<\/li>\n<li>Starting October 1, you may submit the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/admissions\/blog\/figuring-out-fafsa\/\">FAFSA<\/a> document. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winona.edu\/housing\/requirements.asp?i=0\">Housing application<\/a>\u00a0also becomes available this day. Applying earlier will help your chances of living in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winona.edu\/choosetowonder\/residencelife\/?utm_source=Choosetowonder&amp;utm_medium=Web&amp;utm_campaign=Spring&amp;utm_term=Housing-Main&amp;utm_content=2018#housing\">residence hall<\/a> of your choice.<\/li>\n<li>On October 24 and 25, you may visit WSU at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nacacfairs.org\/attend\/national-college-fairs\/minnesota-national-college-fair\/\">National College Fair<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are a few dates that will hopefully help you see when information and applications are accessible.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>5. Track Your Application<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Once your application is complete, you may log-on to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winona.edu\/admissions\/undergraduate\/mywsu.asp\">MyWSU<\/a> account to track your application. You can expect a decision letter to be sent to you around two to three weeks after submitting your application.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>6. Schedule a Visit<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you are thinking about becoming a Warrior, you may want to look further into what WSU and the city of Winona have to offer. One way to do this is by attending a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winona.edu\/admissions\/undergraduate\/admitted-students.asp\">Choose WSU Admitted Student Day<\/a> this spring.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winona.edu\/admissions\/undergraduate\/visit.asp\">Schedule your visit<\/a> today!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Got Questions?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you have any questions during your application process, don\u2019t be afraid to email <a href=\"mailto:admissions@winona.edu\">admissions@winona.edu<\/a>.
