It’s time to apply to university! Complete this complex, comprehensive and time-consuming process with the support of your counselors and peers in a regularly scheduled non-graded class during the school day! After researching and refining their “working list” of schools in the junior year, 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, send standardized test scores, apply for financial aid or scholarships, and assemble and submit complete applications BEFORE the deadlines. Assessment is comprised solely on class participation and completion of key assignments associated with the senior university timeline. If students are struggling with the engagement process, the counselor will reach out to them outside of class. A laptop is required for this course. Meeting weekly as a group creates a sense of community and shared purpose, even as students may be making very different plans. Counselor approval is required in order to enroll.
