College Application Week

It's Motivation Monday!

• Get started on those Applications!

Testing Tuesday

Your test scores do not define you! But.... many schools still need them for admission. Make sure you know what schools need "official" test scores sent by College Board or ACT. There are still opportunities to test this year if you are not happy with your scores.

Test-Optional - Many schools have explored being test-optional for the Class of 2021 and 2022., but this has been a shift for over 20 years now. It is always a good idea to discuss applying test-optional with your school or college and career counselor to maximize your acceptance chances.

Check out Fair Test to learn more and to see a current list of Test-Optional Schools.

Workshop Wednesday

SRAR Completion (Rutgers Application), Essay Tips and Tricks, and Common Application Trouble Shooting will be covered at this workshop. Make sure to enter the building from the choir room at 8:45 at the latest!

If you cannot attend this workshop, start working on your SRAR if you are using the Rutgers Application, or begin to add your courses to the Coalition Application. If you have questions, stop by to see a counselor. All students should aim to complete the Rutgers Application by November 1st.

Transcript Thursday

Make sure that you hand in a transcript release form to your counselor in order to have transcripts sent out to colleges. Check with your school counselor to see what other procedures that they want you to follow! If you are planning on participating in NCAA Divison I, II, or III sports, you need to complete a separate transcript release form to be given to Mrs. Gupta.
