College Counseling Update for the Week of September 23rd
Common Application HELP! Tuesday, September 24th during Lunch
The college counselors will be in the Founders computer lab during lunch to help with any questions about filling out the common app, matching your common app, or anything else! That's also a good time to come by if you would like to log into your College Board or ACT account and make sure you have sent your scores and/or added schools to your fall registrations for your early schools. We can also look at essays during this time and answer questions.
St. Joseph’s University Interviews
Our admissions representative from St. Joe's will make a general presentation at 9:00 AM and then conduct interviews throughout the day. To sign up for a thirty minute interview, please see Mrs. Monahan on the second floor of Fennessy. We recommend that anyone considering St. Joe's have an interview. Slots will fill up fast so please sign up ASAP!
