Monthly College Counseling Update: October 2021

Seniors Submitting Applications

Approximately 90% of the members of the class of 2022 will have submitted an application by November 1st. It’s a busy time, submitting documents, completing SRARs, revising essays. We thank all faculty, parents, counselors, and peers for helping our seniors work through this busy time.
This cycle in College Seminar we welcome virtual guests from eight different colleges to ‘pull back the curtain’ and explain to students what happens after they hit submit on their applications - from connecting documents, to how many people read the application, to how schools check interest, and finally final decisions. 

Class of 2023

A reminder that juniors are required to attend the College Panel on Wednesday, November 16th in the theatre. We will welcome five college representatives for a Q&A to kick start your college searches. The program will start at 6:30 and parents are more than welcome to attend, as is the entire Archmere community.
