College Application Time to Start and Reminders

Seniors, how are your college applications going?  I get it... you still feel like you're getting your feet under you for the new school year, we haven't even had senior college night yet, and I am already bugging you all about your applications.  Procrastinating on college applications always makes me nervous.  I get that it seems like there is tons of time, but please (PLEASE!) don't wait! The time to start working on your applications is now. That doesn't mean you have to have the entire application complete, but begin getting organized, start thinking about and drafting your essays, start filling out the "easier" paperwork section that requires name, address, and other basic information because it can become time-consuming, and (if you still haven't done so) put together a master list of activities and experiences you have had during high school so that you can add that information to your applications easily.
I know that not everyone is procrastinating on working on college applications and some have already submitted their applications and will be hearing back soon.  :-)

Another reminder, to help all senior students and parents there will be a Senior College Information Night on Tuesday evening, August 29th, at 7:00pm.  Please plan to attend as we will be covering details you will need to know during the application process!  And yes, it is VERY important that you attend this night and don't just send your parents!  YOU are the one applying to college.  You'll want your parents to join you so that you are on the same page, but seniors, you need to plan to be there.

Also, a general reminder that tomorrow all of the CSCC college credit plus classes begin.  Hopefully you completed your online orientation and logged into blackboard.  Your instructors are looking forward to meeting you tomorrow and/ or Tuesday (depending on which classes you are taking).
