The skilled and superb coaching staff and the hard working focused players took it game by game and certainly inspired all of us toward whatever challenge we might be “tackling.” For many of you it’s completing your college applications, looking ahead to financial aid and scholarships, and preparing yourself for admissions decisions! WILL YOU GET IN?!!
For some of you that applied early action or early decision, you will
find out mid December. At this point, if
you put in your best effort, wrote your best essay, made your deadlines, you
may hear happy news. Please share this
with your guidance counselors and teachers who wrote you letters. They will be thrilled for you.
Some of you may get WAIT-LISTED. Because colleges don’t know how many students will actually accept their
offer of admission, many colleges have wait lists. If you are on a wait list, you may still get
admitted when enough students decide to go elsewhere. Make sure you contact the college reaffirming
your desire to attend that school. Talk
to your guidance counselor. Send the
school a letter or email describing any new honors, awards, or noteworthy
endeavors. DO NOT call them EVERY DAY or
WEAR a COSTUME and carry a poster that says, “ADMIT ME.” This rarely works -- ha ha.
Most of you have Plan B and C already figured in. See your counselor if you need guidance. It’s not too late to still apply to many
colleges. Check deadlines -- don’t forget
green transcript request sheets and put your colleges into “Colleges I’m
Applying to,” requesting a transcript.
