SAT Saturday, November 7:
All students must bring their school ID to get on campus. ALL STUDENTS must bring their Passport or Thai National ID and Admissions Ticket to gain entrance to the test rooms. No student will be admitted without a Thai National ID or a Passport and their Admissions Ticket. A school ID is NOT accepted for testing purposes. There are no exceptions–College Board makes these rules, not us. All phones will be turned off for the entire testing time and students may not access them until the tests are completed. We will let students in at 7:30am.
The next SAT is December 5 and to get a seat you must register by November 5th. There are no standby or waitlist opportunities for international testing this year. Please follow the instructions on our college Google site: tinyurl.com/isbcollege
Seniors:
Seniors are busily finalizing and submitting their early applications. An important thing to remember is that the deadline is the day and time here in Thailand, not in the country where the application is going!! Do not get your application trashed by trying to submit for a different timezone!!
The College Office is busy submitting all the school-related documents for the early applications this week. It is very important to be aware that students may get an email or portal status back from the schools they apply to that documents are still missing. This is an automatic response and so they will not have had time to even check to see if they have received the documents. Be aware that it can take the universities up to 2 weeks to process the thousands of documents they are getting from all over the world. Just because it’s electronic, doesn’t mean it’s instantaneous!! So, please be patient.
The next Senior College Seminars are next Thursday and Friday, Nov. 5 and 6. All seniors applying to college are expected to attend during their TOK or Free Period. All sessions are in MPB 1.
Juniors:
The next Junior College Seminar is November 17. A reminder email will be sent to all juniors as the date gets closer.
