Hello Juniors!

Carnegie Mellon University


Now we begin the college process together!  I am looking forward to meeting and
working with each of you in this upcoming year and a half.  Just think 8 months from now you will be applying to college!  A year from now and you may be holding some college acceptance letters!!!

In our class we will be preparing for your applications to college.  What you will be looking forward to: 

 
Everybody will register  for and take the SAT I/ or the ACT, in May and students applying to competitive schools will take 1 to 3 SAT IIs, in June.
Museum @ SUNY New Paltz

All juniors will write a personal essay so that you and I have a chance to go over it before summer.

Come up with a list of 10 to 15 colleges that you may be interested in applying to in the Fall of 2012.

Begin to put together a resume that you will use both for college and for your internship.

Make arrangements to visit a college.  Before going--sign up for a tour and an information session.  You may do this online, or by calling the college. 
Conclude your visit before May 1, 2012.

SAVE THE DATE!!!    Wednesday, April 25th NYC Unique College Fair, until 5:30 pm.

Brandeis University

Come to your College Bound Class on time and with paper and pencil.  Start a folder to keep all of the handouts......you will reference them again and again.

See you in class!
