Seeing the Forest Through the Trees

Sometimes it feels like college admissions changes as fast as the speed of light. This year welcomed a new SAT, an overhaul of the ACT Writing section, continued revision of AP Exams, a call to action by Harvard University with the Turning the Tide report, and the upcoming introduction of an alternate application by the Coalition for Access, Affordability and Success.

With all of these changes in mind, please remember the guidance department is here to help. Attending the following two events will help you get a jump start on tackling this process.


Tonight: Thursday, January 28th, 6-8:30 pm College Admissions Night

The event starts out with a mini college fair followed by an admissions panel and standardized test prep information. Senior parents will be in the computer labs, receiving assistance with filling out the FAFSA (pre-registration was required for this portion of tonight's activities).
