Students and counselors seem to be getting back into the swing of school.
This week the Seniors joined their first Senior Seminar on Thursday. There was a wealth of information shared about dates & deadlines, the Senior Questionnaire (needed for the Counselor Recommendation), creating a balanced university application list, and getting students’ Cialfo and Common Application linked in the system. Please work with your senior on getting the Senior Family Conference set up as soon as possible. This is a mandatory meeting which sets the foundation for the university application process this year. Seniors were reminded that if they are planning an application to OxBridge, UK Medical, Dental or Veterinary programs, they should inform their university counselor right away.
Please mark your calendars. Grade 12 Family University Night will be held next week on Wednesday, 1 September at 6:30 PM. Watch your email for the reminder with the link to the presentation. We look forward to seeing seniors and parents at the event!
Be sure to check the Virtual University Visit list for university visits that are scheduled exclusively for ISB students and parents. In addition, there are many virtual events available for any students interested in gaining more information about particular institutions. Be sure to check the Virtual University Visits list on the ISB University/College Counseling website.
