Class of 2020 College Guidance Updates
On Monday, September 16th seniors and their parents gathered in our beautiful new Core Center for Senior College Night. Mrs. Crane and Mrs. Gerrity presented a concise overview of the remaining phases of the college application and admissions processes while sharing the very positive and reinforcing messages that our seniors are well prepared and equally well positioned in a process with many moving parts.
Guest speaker and seasoned college admissions expert, Mr. Jim Skiff, also joined the College Guidance Team to share his perspectives and college admissions industry insights which shed important light on the often overlooked, or underestimated factors at play on the increasingly competitive college landscape.
Attendees received personalized Senior College Guidance folders containing support materials as well as copies of their daughter’s initial Sacred Heart Greenwich transcript for review and approval. Please see Mrs. Crane or Mrs. Gerrity if you have not received your initial transcript.
Senior College Guidance classes have been humming with productivity. The Class of 2020 is hard at work putting the finishing touches on their college lists, meeting with their counselors, completing applications, writing essays and setting the stage to begin submitting applications. The seniors are being reminded of their vital role in assuming responsibility for many steps in their process:
Maintaining their Naviance accounts
Proactively researching admissions requirements
Proactively researching standardized testing policies
Sending necessary SAT or ACT score reports
Monitoring all deadlines
College Rep Visits:
October is an exceptionally busy travel month for college admissions counselors.
Sacred Heart has scheduled over 40 visits to campus. Seniors are highly encouraged to attend these presentations. See Naviance for complete listing details.
