The college admission process officially began in earnest for all juniors Feb. 15. Dean of Studies and College Guidance Sam Moss addressed a number of college admission procedures and issues, and juniors have put in their requests for college advisers.
The first formal group meeting with the newly-assigned college advisees will take place March 16, and the college advisers will meet individually with their advisees throughout the spring. Juniors are urged to take the initiative in making appointments with their college adviser and are reminded that it is their responsibility to do so.
“By early June, all juniors should have developed a list of a number of colleges they will visit during the summer,” Moss said.
“Doing a good job on their college research early in the spring and a good job of visiting campuses over the spring and summer will enable them to come back to school next fall with a definite list of colleges to which they will apply,” Moss said.
“This is the critical time for juniors and their parents to do the research. If they put lots of thought and effort into the process now, the senior year will be much less stressful for them.”
