Seniors:
Decisions are still coming in from various parts of the globe. 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.
If you have your UK decisions, please know your deadline for picking your Firm and Insurance choice. If you have questions about that, please speak with your counselor.
And, as always, please update your Cialfo with ALL of your decisions–Admit, Conditional Admit, Denied, Waitlisted, January Admit, Deferred, Withdrawn.
Save the Date: there will be a US Student VISA Talk (virtually) by the US Embassy for Seniors and their parents on April 22, 3:00-4:00pm. A link to this virtual event will be available as the date nears. Please check back in the eNews.
Juniors:
The second to last Junior College Seminar was on the 17th. We talked more about testing, writing and the importance of virtual visits. All juniors will give their College Counselor a first draft of an essay by April 9th!
All junior-led conferences should be scheduled by now. If not, you will be receiving an email from your counselor.

The topic: Growing Global Mindedness: Addressing Implicit Bias and Cultural Difference.
