College Planning

Message from Ms. Karidoyanes, Director of School Counseling (9/23/20)

Our staff just learned about a fabulous resource for college admissions this year. A consortium of organizations came together to produce a series webinars on various aspects of the college admissions process, it is call the College Guidance Network. They are produced locally and endorsed by the Massachusetts Association of School Counselors (MASCA).

The College Guidance Network is releasing a new webinar each week on Wednesday evenings. You may either choose to watch them live or they will become available on demand within 48 hours of the original airing. The series began last week on September 16th with the topic of "Admissions in the time of COVID". Presenters included admissions staff from Dartmouth College, Olin School of Engineering and the Executive DIrector of MASCA among others. Here is the link for this past episode Admissions in the time of COVID. Tonight's topic is "Tell Your Story: Crafting Great College Admissions Essays."

I encourage you to take time to watch them, our counseling staff found the initial episode very informative and are looking forward to future topics to help us support our students.
