Wondering what's going on in the College Counseling Office?
Let's see:
116 seniors
3 college counselors, 1 Mrs. Monahan
About 300 applications already submitted
About 700 transcript requests
After today, 6 more school days to submit the aforementioned credentials.
One hundred and twenty something juniors who we will be meeting individually and in groups beginning in January.
If we were on Glee, we would break out in the Queen classic "Under Pressure" right about now.

Mail Call Round Two
I am still working on clearing my inbox. The goal is to see the bottom before we leave for break!
Colgate Profile for the Class of 2015: 7834 applications, 29.4% acceptance rate. Accepted students' SAT middle 50% 1320-1490. For Early Decision, 660 students applied and 348 were admitted (that's 44.6% of the class). Here is an interesting statistic that most colleges do not publish. For children/grandchildren of alumni 250 students applied and 116 were accepted. Also, 27 students enrolled from the wait list.
Some bullet points about WPI (Worcester Polytechnic Institute): It is the third oldest engineering school in the nation (founded in 1865), ranked No. 1 for student-to-faculty interaction in the National Survey of Student Engagement, and is ranked No. 4 for highest starting salaries by Payscale.com, over 90% job and graduate school placement rate.
Bucknell University Profile for the Class of 2015: 7940 applications, 27.6% admit rate. Middle 50% SAT score: 1220-1390.
From the Williams profile: 14 students enrolled from Washington DC. Williams meets the full demonstrated financial need of each admitted student.
Columbia University: They had a 6.9% admit rate last year. Wow.

Thinking about a Gap Year?
If you are already feeling SENIORITIS coming on and thinking that you might benefit from a Gap year, there's an event coming up just for you!
NCS is hosting a fair called the NCS FORUM which will be an opportunity for you to explore Gap year opportunities. If you're not even sure what a Gap year is, this is a nice opportunity to learn more!
Here is the information that the College Guidance Department at NCS forwarded to me:
The annual NCS FORUM will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 6, in Hearst Auditorium (located in Hearst Hall) at the National Cathedral School from 5:30-7:00pm. This fair is a great chance for students to explore study abroad, extension, gap year and summer programs in one place. Parents are welcome to attend as well, to speak with program representatives directly. By our last count, we will have 31 programs represented this year. It’s sure to be a fun and informative evening. We would very much appreciate if you could spread the word to your students that they would be more than welcome to attend.
We hope that a some of you will attend!
