“College is a match to be made, not a prize to be won.”
-Frank Sachs, The Blake School

apply…rejection is part of the process

Schedule final college visits and interviews if necessary
Technology first impressions
A few reminders from last year…

which allow the student to decide if he/she wants to submit test scores as part of their application.- www.fairtest.org
