The world of
College Counseling is always active and exciting! Our Seniors have completed their applications
and are beginning to receive responses from their colleges. Decisions will continue to come in through
the end of March and many Seniors are busy with scholarship applications in
addition to keeping their grades up, as expected by colleges and
universities.
Juniors have
begun the Mentor Group curriculum so that they are fully prepared for their own
college process, starting with the Junior Survey self-assessment and using
Naviance Family Connection, our exceedingly valuable web-based college advising
database and program.
Additionally,
all Juniors and many Sophomores are participating in our college visit to both
FAU and University of Miami on Wednesday, January 27th. This bus trip is one of
several opportunities that students have to learn about some of our Florida
colleges as well as to gain exposure to college life.
Standardized
testing is still an important aspect of the college application process and we provided
a full-length practice ACT for Juniors and Sophomores on Sunday, January
24th. On February 25th, students and
parents will learn how to compare these results with the results from the PSAT
in order to choose the exam which offers the greatest opportunity for success.
Our freshmen
are not left out of the activity! Many
parents of ninth grade students attended the College Counseling 101
introductory program on January 14th, and all Freshmen will have a meeting
scheduled in college counseling over the next few months. Sophomores too will benefit from individual
meeting in college counseling.
As always,
if you have any questions about our four-year college counseling program, please contact
Jackie Rockman at rockmanj@dkja.net!
