junior YEAR

Throughout the fall, each girl is encouraged to meet with college admission representatives who visit GPS and Chattanooga. From November through February, the college counseling office meets individually with each girl and her family for a comprehensive discussion about her college search and upcoming application experience. In the winter and spring, the college counseling office provides a curriculum for students, a panel discussion with admission deans for parents and students, an admission case study program for students, and other constituent-education programs.

90% of our recent college graduates completed their degrees at their original institutions (National average for women is 48%)

senior YEAR

Seniors are encouraged to attend a summer workshop where they will continue to hone their resumes, essays, and other important components of their college applications. Upon returning to campus in August, each senior meets individually and in seminars with her college counselor to discuss admission strategies, fine tune her application, edit essays, and to reflect on what she is seeking in her next step beyond GPS. At the end of the college counseling journey, we hope each girl is thrilled for what awaits her beyond GPS!
