Today I made the first of two presentations to the senior class about the college application process. The second one will include parents/guardians and will take place on Friday at 7:30 am (sorry!).
The two presentations have some overlapping themes, but the content is different. Today, we focused a little more on college office policies and procedures and pieces of advice for seniors as they start to kick this process into high gear.
Friday, I will talk more about some general college application process strategies and go into a little more detail about application terminology. I will also spend some time talking about the essay.
At today's assembly, students were given their yellow teacher recommendation signature forms. Over the next two weeks, students should get that form signed again in order to lock their recommendations into place. This is also an opportunity to have a brief conversation with the person writing your letter to find out if they require any additional steps (Do they want you to email them a sample of your work from the class? Do they want you to fill out a certain form or worksheet to help them write a better letter?) and to give them a heads up about your earliest deadline.
And we're off!
