COLLEGE GUIDANCE SEMINARS
Semester 1: 大三学生通常在今年春季第一次参加SAT和/或ACT考试. Prior to this, they will have taken the PSAT / NMSQT in October. Once the students receive the score reports, 十大信誉网赌网站建议学生开始SAT和/或ACT预备班或个性化辅导,为春季的这些考试做最好的准备. 我们强烈建议在第一次考试前至少12周/次. Students continue to use Methodize in their Junior Seminar sessions. 学生们还会对他们感兴趣的大学进行深入研究,并起草一份“为什么是我们”?的回答,因为这将帮助学生了解如何彻底浏览大学网站, identify key details of the school’s mission, 并在简洁而有针对性的回应中表达他们对该机构的兴趣. Finally, 学生们还会复习通用申请论文提示,并可能开始头脑风暴一些想法,以便为第二学期的初级研讨会做准备. Juniors are also invited to attend college information sessions with representatives from various colleges; these sessions are hosted by College Guidance.
Semester 2: 这是一个由大学指导主任教授的小组课程. During these classes, students review their transcripts, strengthen and refine their college lists to ensure a balance, request teacher recommendations, write drafts of their resumes, 并参与许多反思性写作,旨在为他们的大学论文和面试做准备. 我们鼓励学生在学期结束前完成大学论文的草稿. 所有的学生和他们的家长都有一个单独的会议与学院指导主任在年底和/或夏季讨论他们的学生的大学名单, college visitations, and how to approach the summer before senior year.
这是一个小组课程,旨在帮助学生和他们的家庭在复杂的大学申请过程的各个方面. 所有的大学论文和补充写作都会得到大学指导主任的个人和广泛的反馈. Students are also invited to attend college information sessions with representatives from various colleges; these sessions are hosted by College Guidance. Families attend a Financial Aid workshop, 这篇文章回顾了重点,并为接近财政援助过程提供了建议. This is a first semester senior year course.
