It's Almost May 1, I have to choose!

Seniors, if you already decided on a college to attend in the fall, Congratulations! 😁😁😁

However, did you:
  • accept your offer of admission and send your enrollment deposit?
  • review your financial aid report and formally accept your scholarships, loans or work-study?
  • sign up for housing and start looking for a roommate?
  • tell the other colleges that you are not going to attend?
  • look for more scholarships that have a later deadline?
  • fill out your Class of 2018 Senior Exit Survey in Naviance?
  • put April 30 on your calendar to meet with your counselor to fill out your Final Transcript Request form during any open period?
  • iron your best college shirt/sweatshirt to wear on Decision Day May 1 during lunch?
  • ask Mr. Krause any questions you have about life?

Juniors, if you are ready to start looking for school or careers:
  • fill out a College Planning Worksheet, turn it in and make an appointment to see Mr. Krause.
  • use SuperMatch in Naviance to filter out choices for colleges and universities
  • use the Occupational Outlook Handbook to research careers and opportunities
  • review your Do What You Are assessment in Naviance and ask your counselor to re-set it if you think you want to take it again
  • do something useful this summer, like get a job, volunteer, take a fun class
Sophomores:
  • feel free to start visiting colleges this summer, if you are ready
    • don't just visit one size school; if you are driving for a few hours there will be other sizes of schools to check out, give them all a chance
    • sign up for an official visit online
  • do great in your classes
  • use Khan Academy to practice your skills for the PSAT in the fall
Freshman:
  • rock your final exams as your GPA is super important
  • find something constructive to do this summer
  • read some books for pleasure
