Brag Sheet due in September

The Brag Sheet will help your teachers write the best recommendation letters possible.

 

Meet with Counselor in the fall to finalize college list

Seniors will meet again individually in the fall to discuss any changes and begin finalizing the list of colleges.

 

Attend the college representative visits during the fall

It is very important for seniors to attend the college representative visits during the fall. They will have the opportunity to learn about colleges they might not have been able to visit and get a chance to speak with an admissions officer from that very school.

 

Narrow the list of colleges to ~10 and decide whether to apply Early Decision/Early Action

Seniors will decide with College Guidance whether applying Early Decision or Early Action would be appropriate and also finalize the list of colleges.

 

Ask two teachers for recommendation letters

Find two appropriate teachers (one from Humanities and the other from Math or Science from junior or senior year) for recommendation letters as early as possible.
