This is an exciting opportunity you do not want to miss!  Alabama has launched a new way to get accepted to colleges this year and you get to try it out!  Through the Alabama Direct Admission Initiative, you will create a Match profile for yourself, you will upload an unofficial transcript, and then over 40 colleges in Alabama will be able to accept you.  Instead of filling out multiple applications and having to go find schools for yourself, you fill out 1 application (for FREE!!!) and let the colleges find you.  This is an unbelievable opportunity, making it ridiculously easy to get into college.  Don't ignore this opportunity!!!!!  Here's a list of participating schools

Steps:
1. Request a personal copy of your transcript from Parchment (Link Here)
2. Watch the informational video and read the FAQ's about the Alabama Direct Admission Initiative 
3. Create and submit your profile on Match by September 23rd (Link Here)
4. Check for acceptance and scholarship offers beginning October 6th (Alabama Free Application Week!)

*When adding your Counselor to your profile, remember our alphabet split:
Last Name A-D:  Mrs. Belcher- beverly.belcher@opelikaschools.org
Last Name E-J:  Ms. Johnson- shonta.johnson@opelikaschools.org
Last Name K-R: Mrs. Whitmer- sonya.whitmer@opelikaschools.org
Last Name S-Z: Mrs. Vickers-  meredith.vickers@opelikaschools.org

**This is new to your counselors too, so if you have questions, we probably have the same ones.  We will figure this out together!
