Seniors:
We had our third Senior College Seminars this week. After giving the students important information about deadlines, sending test scores (or not), financial aid forms, the importance of demonstrated interest Predicted Grades and applying to Thai universities, we gave them dedicated work time. This is when they could complete applications, edit essays, do more research on schools and update their Cialfo. It was a productive time for them focused on college.
Juniors:
PSAT 11 is next week on Wednesday, October 11. 85% of the junior class will be taking the test starting at 7:45am until about lunchtime. Their teachers have been made aware of this annual test and many will be helping out on the day.
Sophomores:
Just because I have had some questions about this, I wanted to mention that the PSAT10 for sophomores will take place March 30, 2021. More information will be made available closer to that date.
