After researching and refining their “considering list” of schools in grade 11, seniors will write authentic and memorable application essays, develop unique application themes, request specific and nuanced letters of recommendation, prepare for interviews, craft professional communications with admissions staff, apply for financial aid or scholarships, and assemble and submit complete applications BEFORE the deadlines.
