Our objective is to guide the family in finding options where the student will not only get admitted, but thrive and find success once on campus.
October To-Do List
In October, seniors must put the finishing touches on their applications to be ready for early November deadlines.
Seniors
- If applicable, make sure to send your official test scores via College Board or ACT.
- Put the finishing touches on your essays and applications, and have someone who understands the college essay proofread them.
- Parents: Complete the CSS Profile for Financial Aid if your child’s colleges require it. The FAFSA will not be available until December this year as it is being revised.
Juniors
- Begin reflecting on what you are seeking in a college experience. Think about your strengths, areas of academic interest and potentially exciting careers.
- If you are eligible for testing accommodations at school, such as extended time, apply early to the College Board and to the ACT to secure accommodations for standardized tests.
- Visit at least one college this fall, attend the information session, and go on the tour to begin educating yourself about colleges and the admissions process.
Learn more about how we guide students in their college experience by scheduling an introductory interview with a college admission consultant.
