Attention: High School Juniors and Seniors! Tips for Success as You Plan for College AND When You Get There
Dear Parents:
Happy New Year! This is an exciting time for both seniors waiting to hear final decisions from the colleges they applied for admission for next fall, and for juniors as they begin to seriously begin the college planning process.
The first article is written by one of my favorite college presidents. I heard Adam Weinberg speak last spring at the IECA conference. He truly is an expert on how to help students achieve success in college. The nine tips he offers are excellent and every senior should take a copy in their bags when they leave to begin their college career.
The second article is a great piece on timelines for juniors to pay attention to as they begin the process of preparing for the college application process. It is critical that juniors pay attention to timing. Be the “early bird” not the last to submit applications. It will pay off to be one of the first to apply, not only for a better chance to be accepted, but also for merit aid.
Enjoy both articles. If you ever have questions about the college planning process, feel free to contact me by email or phone. I am happy to answer questions any time. I also love to speak to parent groups and teens about the college planning process. The more parents and students know about the details of getting into college, the better!
Marrs College Admission Advisors wishes you the best year ever in 2020! Happiness, success and good health to our high school and college students!
Sincerely,
