The formal college counseling process begins junior year, although sophomores take the PSAT for the first time (these scores are not released to colleges). Around halfway through junior year, students begin to meet weekly with the College Counseling Office, where they are guided through the college admissions process until the spring of senior year. There are three college counselors for a senior class of approximately 70 students, so each student has the opportunity to work individually with a counselor to discuss his or her own academic/athletic profile, develop essays or a portfolio, and work through the search for the best college options. Additionally, we host more than 100 colleges on our campus every year and hold information sessions with juniors and seniors.
