Dear Seniors and Parents,
Now is when many colleges notify seniors about their admissions decisions. We wanted to share a few reminders:
- Please remember to update your application outcomes in SCOIR as you hear back from schools!
- If you are accepted, that is wonderful news. Celebrate your accomplishment, but please also be aware that some of your friends may not be getting the same good news -- so we ask that you be sensitive.
- A denial does not define who you are or who you will be. Oftentimes, it is a pure numbers game, or, in some cases, the school really wasn’t a good fit for you. You undoubtedly will have choices of where to attend.
- If you are waitlisted, have questions about a decision, and/or a financial aid package, you will want to meet with your Post-Secondary counselor to discuss next steps.
- Check your email and college portals frequently to make sure you don't miss any potential deadlines for additional documentation.
- Nearly every college or university offers its own institution-based scholarships. Check the financial aid webpages for each of your top schools to see what's available.
- If you have any questions about the process moving forward, don't hesitate to reach out to Karen or Brennan.
- Haven’t applied yet? It’s not too late! There are many colleges and universities that are still accepting applications. Schedule a meeting with Karen Hawkes (A-K) or Brennan Dignan (L-M) so that we can support you.
- Trade and Technical Schools, Apprenticeships, and Certificate Programs. Of course, not every student will be pursuing a traditional four-year degree. If this is the case for you, please schedule an Individual Meeting with Karen Hawkes (A-K) or Brennan Dignan (L-M) so that we can start putting together a plan based on your interests.
