Seniors:
Decisions from North American universities will be making their decisions known in the next several weeks. As always, we ask that students share that information with their counselor. Please be sure you are checking your admission portals as that may be where and how the decisions are released to you. They will also tell you if something is missing from your application–and it’s your responsibility to know that.
Good luck to everyone on their mock exams!
Juniors:
The second to last Junior College Seminar will be next week on the 17th. We will talk more about testing, writing and the importance of virtual visits. You will also have time to work on your first essay draft, due to us by April 9th!
All junior-led conferences should be scheduled by now. If not, you will be receiving an email from your counselor.
Summer programs:
If you are wondering what to do during the summer, check out our summer program opportunities list on the College Counseling Google site: Summer Programs
SAT:
The next SAT is tomorrow, Saturday, March 13. Please know the rules to gain entry to this College Board Test Center:
1) All students must bring their school ID to get on campus.
2) 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. An ISB school ID is NOT accepted for testing purposes. There are NO exceptions–College Board makes these rules, not us.
3) 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 last SAT this school year is June 5th and is Subject Test ONLY. The deadline to register is April 8. This will be the last time any Subject Tests are offered ever!
