Summer break is right around the corner, and just as students and teachers are taking some much needed rest, Prep’s College Knowledge Blog will be doing the same. As this is the first year of the blog, I am sure there are improvements that can be made. I know this information has been helpful to a multitude of parents and students, and I want to continue its success for many years to come. So to make this blog as helpful as it can be, please feel free to email Mr. Joseph Korfmacher at korfmacherj@spprep.org with any suggestions for future posts and any other comments you may have. I will be sure to post periodically throughout the summer with important announcements and helpful tips for the upcoming college application season, but posts will be less frequent.
For rising juniors and seniors, here are some final reminders of what to do during the summer in regards to the college process…
· Visit colleges
· Research schools and their programs/majors
· Work on your college essay
· Begin to develop your college list (6-8 schools)
· Begin to search for scholarships
· Start saving money
· Stay active and involved (summer job, club, travel, research, etc.)
· Starting in August-Create a CommonApplication account and start working on it
· Continue to prepare for the SATs, ACTs, and SAT Subject Tests
· Take some time to relax! Once September hits, the college craziness will ensue!
Thank you again so much for visiting Prep’s first ever college information blog! I hope to make the blog better and better, and I truly do appreciate all of your support!! Have a great summer and the blog will be back fulltime in August!
