All seniors and their parents are urged to attend College Night on Monday, Sept. 18, at 7 p.m. in the Chapel; underclassmen and their parents are also strongly encouraged to attend. The interactive program will feature a panel of young admission officers from a variety of colleges, including The University of the South, College of Charleston, University of Mississippi, Hollins, and Amherst.
The format will be a question and answer session with the panelists addressing issues raised by students and parents- issues such as how students are evaluated by colleges, the financial aid process, early decision programs, and why admission to so many colleges is becoming more and more competitive.
“All students and parents are invited to attend, but this meeting is a must for seniors and their parents. It is important for them to know specifically what they need to be doing in the weeks and months ahead and what Darlington expects of them in the application and visitation process,” Moss said. “In hearing directly from admission officers, seniors and underclassmen alike can gain an understanding of how colleges makes admission decisions and what factors count the most in those decisions.”
