College Advising

The College Process

Students are assigned to one of four college advisors. Advisory groups meet once a month, but students are encouraged to schedule individual conferences in between group meetings. In these meetings, students will come up with a strategy for researching the colleges and universities that interest them, plan testing dates, and talk about how to maximize their academic course load and extracurricular activities.
Take SAT Subject Tests.
By the end of upper-mid year, students will have completed their Common Application essays in English class and filled out the current year’s Common Application, which they can save and use when the new Common Application goes live in the fall.
