Tip of the Week - April 9

For Students Graduating in the years:

2012: Search for more schools if you need to. There are still many four-year schools accepting applications. If you are receiving more admission rejections than you anticipated, you might consider applying to a few more institutions to keep your options open. Let us know if you need assistance finding these schools.

2013: Schedule a few “Junior Days”. Junior Days, or visitation programs at colleges specifically designed for high school juniors, can give you very valuable insight into what the campus has to offer in terms of academics, extracurricular involvement and support services. Schools really like to make this experience special and informative for their prospective juniors, so we recommend taking advantage of these!

2014 & Above: Plan to do something enriching this summer. Colleges considering students for admission will look into the leadership and enrichment programs in which students take part to make admission decisions. The more valuable extracurricular involvement you have, the better. Use some time this summer to add to your resume.

Sincerely, 

Your Friends at College Planning Network
