Notes from the Director...
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, it is worth mentioning that the sooner college applications are sent out, the better. The due date of an application is really not a good indicator of when it should be sent.
There are many reasons to have an application out sooner, including the fact that not all colleges will wait until a proscribed date to start selecting students. There are only so many seats available and only so much scholarship money available. Waiting until the last minute to send in an application is to your detriment.
Another reason to send out applications as soon as possible is because it increases your opportunity for an interview. This past week, students were given interviews at Princeton, Columbia, and Cornell. If you are contacted for an interview, please let us know as soon as possible, so we can prepare for the interview.
Below is a comment from one of our students who attends the Newman School in New Orleans about a recent Columbia interview: "The interview went so well- we talked for 2 hours (supposed to be 45 mins)."
Preparation is crucial.
Please aim to have your applications completed before the end of November, and contact us as soon as possible if you are contacted for an interview.
Wishing you and your families a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
