Seniors:
Please keep updating your Cialfo with admissions decisions.
Right around now, Early Decision II (EDII) results are getting to students. If your seniors had been admitted EDII, they must immediately withdraw all other applications from consideration if they have not received a result. If they have a result from another school, they can inform that school that they appreciate the offer, but will be attending another institution–this opens up a spot for someone else. Failure to withdraw from the remaining schools (worldwide), can result in your EDII offer of admission being rescinded.
Juniors:
Please keep working on your presentation for the Junior-Led Conference. And, talk with your parents to plan that appointment for February or early March.
Junior College Seminar #5 is next week on February 11 in the usual spots. Students need to bring their laptops all charged and ready to go!
Sophomores:
A reminder that the Opt-In or Out form was sent to all Grade 10 parents regarding the PSAT 10 on Monday. Please fill it out and submit it by Monday, February 8 as we need to order the tests. There will be no extensions to this deadline. The test will be held April 27, after school. PSAT 10 OPT-IN or OUT FORM HERE. Due Monday, 8 February.
All 10th graders have also received a calendar invitation to a small group meeting with their college counselor next week. Please encourage your student to check their emails and confirm the invitation.
SATs:
The deadline to register for the March 13 SAT is February 12 (next Friday!). There is no stand-by or waitlist option if you miss the deadline (even if the website makes it seem that way–kids have learned this the hard way!)
Parent Coffees:
The last three parent coffees, Applying to Japan, Applying to Thailand and Applying to Korea are posted on the College Counseling Google site, listed below.
