From the College Guidance Office

Seniors and Families,

As you complete your applications, you should receive admissions portal information for all of your colleges. I strongly suggest creating a spreadsheet to keep all of the information regarding how to access your admissions portals in one place.

Please remember to email me when you receive decisions regarding your college admission applications or any scholarships you receive. This information will be used to assist future seniors in their college admissions process. Thanks to your help, they will have a better idea regarding their odds for acceptance at particular institutions and what they can anticipate when it comes to financing their education.  Your personal information won't be shared with others, but the admissions and scholarship data will be extremely helpful to future classes. Thank you for your help with this!
