Tip of the Month:

• Seniors - Encourage your students to try to finish up college applications this month.  Even if you don’t submit them just yet, it will relieve pressure to have them completed.
  
  

• Set up a Fed Ex account online to simplify the mailing process. This system will allow you to be able to track mailings to all your colleges (and it is important to do so). Even with online applications, there are still many things that must be sent through a carrier.
  
  

• Juniors - Help your student double-check that he has met all entrance requirements for all his potential colleges.
  
  

• High School Students - Help your student evaluate current and future extracurricular activities carefully. It is better to stay with something (or at least in the general area) through four years. Colleges want to see sustained commitment to an interest, not someone who is a serial joiner. However, if an activity is no longer beneficial, choose to move on to something that will help your student develop and grow as a person.
