Young Alumni Council Shares Valuable Advice for College-Bound Tigers
Upper School | Vicki Vincent,September 6, 2024

As college application season approaches, the Young Alumni Council (YAC) has collaborated on a heartfelt video to share their insights and advice with our seniors at Darlington. In this video, members of the YAC reflect on their own college application experiences and offer valuable tips for navigating this exciting journey.

 

From stressing the importance of staying organized and meeting deadlines to emphasizing the value of finding the right college fit, our YAC members impart wisdom that will undoubtedly resonate with our college-bound Tigers. They also discuss the significance of building relationships with admissions officers and seeking help from mentors throughout the process.

 

The video is a testament to the strong sense of community and support that Darlington cultivates, both during students' time on campus and beyond. As our seniors embark on this significant chapter in their lives, they can take comfort in knowing that they have a network of alumni who are eager to share their knowledge and offer guidance along the way.

 

We encourage you to watch the video and share it with any students who may benefit from the advice provided by our Young Alumni Council. It's an excellent opportunity for our college-bound Tigers to learn from those who have recently walked in their shoes and discovered their own paths to success.

 

Best of luck to our seniors as they explore the many possibilities that lie ahead during the college fair and throughout the application process! Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!
