The Countdown to Admissions Decisions

The New York Times has a blog that deals with college admissions and they have recently started a new series of articles that are written by six current seniors who are awaiting their college admissions decisions. For those Kilbourne students still waiting to hear if you have been accepted or rejected from the schools to which you applied, I am confident that the insight shared by these students will seem very familiar.

Here are the first posts from each student:

Awash in Nervous Anticipation

A Missed Deadline Provides a Costly Lesson

Inspired By His Mother to Push Forward

A Yes from Yale, but Waiting to Hear from Others

With the Lure of Generous Aid, Oklahoma State Beckons

Sleep Deprived and Fighting a Terrible Case of Senioritis

Also, I wanted to remind all of the current Juniors that next Tuesday, March 23rd at 7:30pm is the Junior Student/ Parent meeting. Just as the seniors featured in these blogs have provided insight into their experiences, we will have a panel of “Senior Survivors” to share their insight with attendees at the meeting. I hope to see you there!
