August & New Beginnings

For most high school seniors, August gets here sooner than they would like. August is the beginning of the end of their chapter on high school. However, it is also the beginning of many new chapters that will unfold.

As seniors gear up for the month ahead it is important to:

-Set firm dates to getting everything done related to school work and college applications.

-Identify 2-3 individuals to ask for letters of recommendation

-Outline a long & short list of colleges to attend (this will help you when you attend college fairs this fall)

-Register & prepare, prepare, prepare for any upcoming ACT/SAT test

-Remember deadlines related to admission are VERY REAL! Never make the assumption that colleges will accept something that is a “little” late or incomplete.

Please visit back in the future weeks, as I will continue outlining where students should be in regards to the college admission process.

Until then!
