How to stand out (TUN tip)
Start the Harper Community College Admissions “college ready” validation as early as you can since it’s a separate process that may take time, and keep screenshots or confirmation emails for your records. In your application, briefly note that you’re completing (or have completed) the Harper validation so reviewers can see you’re tracking that requirement.
