Welcome!

Welcome everyone to the recently established Saint Peter’s Prep College Counseling Blog! The name of our blog is ‘Prep’s College Knowledge’, and we hope to provide you with knowledge on everything to do with college admissions. Of course, our target audience is Prep students and parents, but please feel free to share this site with other friends and family also going through the college admissions process. The goal of this blog is to simply get as much information out to you as possible on a weekly basis.

Prep’s College Knowledge will focus on preparing students and their families for the college admissions process. We will provide important dates and deadlines, admissions trends, and leading research on college admissions. Additionally, we hope to allow some current seniors to use this blog to write about their experiences with the college application process. Their testimonies should provide insight on the “do’s and don’ts” of applying to colleges. We also would like to use this blog as a place to assist students and their families on the emotional and psychological transition into college. Leaving home for the first time and being away from family can often be a stressful time for everyone involved, and we hope to provide helpful tips and strategies to aid the entire family in dealing with this change.

As of now we will not allow readers to comment directly to the blog, but please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Joseph Korfmacher of the Prep College Counseling Department if you have any comments/questions about the blog or would like to suggest certain topics to be addressed. Mr. Korfmacher can be reached at korfmacherj@spprep.org. Finally, this blog will be updated 1-2 times a week. Please visit us weekly to learn some valuable information on the increasingly important and ever-changing college admissions process!
