Juniors

Juniors need to focus on academics this year. Cumulative GPA's as of the end of junior year are reported when applying to colleges in the fall of senior year. An upward trend in grades, especially if they've been lower than desired up until this point, can positively influence admissions decisions. Juniors also need to continue the career/interest search and the process of developing a post-secondary plan.

Mr. Fearn will visit the Advisory classrooms in early January to share PSAT/NMSQT Scores and ACT test registration information. The ACT test will be offered here at Marian on April 5, 2025.  Students who wish to take the ACT test (on any scheduled test date) must register here. The registration deadline for the April test is February 28, 2025.  We are unable to reserve seats just for Marian students, so timely registration is of the essence. If you have a learning disability and wish to take the test with accommodations, you must fill out an application to be coordinated with Mr. Taylor, Academic Resource Director, and submit it to ACT for consideration. More information is available regarding ACT Accommodations here.  

All juniors are required to meet with Mr. Wochner, College Counselor, at least once during second semester to discuss their college searches and post-secondary plans. Many students choose to meet with Mr. Wochner before second semester and also include family members in their meetings. Any students or families wishing to schedule meetings with Mr. Wochner may do so through Mrs. Diamond.
