Opportunities, Testing Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 12:59 PM On our new Guidance website, the two pages you need to make use of are "College Search/Info" and "College Apps" - these are the top 2 links under "Links & Resources." The "College Search/Info" page has plenty of resources to help you research colleges. The "College Apps" page has links on all aspects of the college application process.
These resources will help you get a better handle on the two big things you need to be on top of for college planning:
(1) The list of schools you're going to apply to
(2) Start working on applications and essays, especially the Common App & supplements
Don't underestimate the importance of doing extensive college research, you have worked too hard to limit your choices to just a handful of schools. Before school starts, maximize the free time you have left to discover colleges and make progress with your apps.
In the first marking period of Senior LEAP, we go through the college process step by step. Make as much progress as you can now, and you will be well on your way to a stress-free senior year.
