For our most recent COLLEGE posts,
Applying to college can sometimes be a daunting task. The applications, college entrance exams, essays, letters of recommendations, placement exams, and extra-curricular involvement can be overwhelming at times- which is why we created this resource.
Most of your college questions can be answered by browsing this page. Remember that your most important resource is your school counselor- please make sure to speak with your counselor to obtain further assistance. Lastly, don’t forget to attend the university presentations held in the counseling center during the months of September through November.
