    College Applications

    Off to College!

    Planning for college is an exciting and sometimes overwhelming time in our lives.  There are many options to consider in the college search process:  two-year vs. four-year, public vs. private, in-state vs. out-of-state are just some examples.  The key is to plan ahead. We are here to help in any way we can.
     
    College Kick-Off Presentation

    This September, we will host an evening College Kick-Off presentation, which is designed to provide parents and students with the "nuts and bolts" of the college application process.  Although this presentation is probably most helpful for our seniors and their parents, anyone can benefit from attending this presentation.  
     
    What is the "Common Application?"

    • The Common Application is a not-for-profit organization that serves students and member institutions by providing an admission application - online and in print - that students may submit to any of our 488 members.
    • If applying to more than one college that uses the Common Application, use the Common Application regardless of what online links the college sends to you.  If a college accepts the Common Application, there is no disadvantage to using it, and it will save you time.  PLUS, using the Common allows for your transcript and letters of recommendation to be sent to colleges online through the Naviance program. www.commonapp.org
