Class of 2024- Planning for Post HS
Hey Class of 2024, there was a lot of information presented to you during spring meetings this year. The most recent spring presentation and all related documents are available here to reivew:https://www.smore.com/58a32
Here are few summer tips for the College Application process
- If you need letters of recommendation, ask your letter writers and provide them with a completed Student Profile. Form is included in the smore link above in letters of recommendation section. It is advised to follow up with your letters writers in the fall in person to make sure they are planning to write you a letter.
- Plan and organize time for college visits/tours/open houses, even virtual opportunities.
- Join mailing lists of your potential colleges of interest if you haven't already so you are getting pertinent prospective student information.
- Continue your college and college major research online, communicate with the colleges and ask questions.
- Do some career research on Xello to help identify future career and its education path.
- Consider taking an SAT or ACT this summer.
- If your college application requires essays, we strongly encourage you to get them done this summer.
- Get a head start on college applications this summer once their new application opens for the 2023-2024 school year. Typically this happens in August.
- If you are planning to send your SAT and/or ACT scores to your colleges you must request directly from the testing agency. Depending on your college, their requirements and your preference this could be different for each person and each college.
