Seniors:
Continue to update your Cialfo with results! Amd if you were admitted EDII, do not forget to withdraw your outstanding applications–not doing so could put your EDII admissions in jeopardy as universities share their EDII admits with other schools.
If you are still planning on applying to schools, especially those with later deadlines (Korea, Japan, Australia, etc.) please be sure to fill out the Transcript Request form on the College site. You must do that 3 weeks in advance of the deadline or application window.
Juniors:
Today we had Junior College Seminar #6 and spoke about essays. We looked at US style narrative essays as well as the UK Style personal statement, which is used by many other countries around the world. Students had a chance to brainstorm some ideas and they will produce a first draft of an essay by mid-March.
We are still meeting with juniors and parents in the Junior-Led Conference. If you have not had that meeting with your child’s college counselor, please ask your student to set that up as soon as possible. All meetings need to be concluded by March 26th.
Virtual Visits:
No Virtual Visits next week at ISB, but do keep checking the College Google site for other virtual visits. And, as always, go straight to the college of interest and see what kind of virtual offerings they may have. Use the virtual visits as a way to explore schools you don’t know a lot about. This can be an efficient way to include or exclude schools from your longlist.
We hope all students enjoy their break and come back reinvigorated!
