Contact Information

Let's Get Ready will send text messages and emails to support you on your college journey! To ensure that Let's Get Ready can reach you, please provide your cell phone number and email address below. If your phone number or email changes, email info@letsgetready.org to let us know right away!

What is your cell phone number? (Do not list your parent/guardian's number.)

Your cell phone number must be a US phone number. If you have a non-US phone number but still wish to participate, LGR recommends that you download a free US-based texting app. You'll get a US phone number when you sign up on the app of your choice, and you can list that number here.

What is the email address you check every day? (Do not list your parent/guardian's email.)

Some high schools and colleges have a high level of security on their email domains, which means that LGR emails are often blocked. We highly recommend that you list a non-school email address as your primary email so you don't miss these updates. Check your Spam and Promotion folders, since sometimes our emails end up there!

Please provide an alternative email address. (Do not list your parent/guardian's email.)

This is a great spot to list a high school or college email! If you are accepted into Let's Get Ready, you can let your coach know if you'd like us to use this email instead as your primary email address after the application process is complete.
