Dear Parents of Seniors, Please note that this was also posted on the team channel for your child(ren).

Please complete THIS UNIVERSITY PROCESS AGREEMENT FORM ‼️ As Soon As Possible ‼️ with your child(ren).

Please note that we cannot send out materials for your child's university application until this is complete. Thank you for your immediate action and attention to this.

CONNECT BLOCKS | October, November, December

In addition to individual meetings, Ms. Michelle (and Ms. Archbold) are working with the seniors during CONNECT BLOCKS over the next few months to support students in completing their university college applications. Students are encouraged to attend and use this focus time to complete their applications. 

Students are being reminded to send THEIR college essays and applications for a final review before submitting. We would appreciate it if parents could also support us by reminding them.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE COUNSELING

Students often lack the information they need to find universities that are a good fit. Mētō has reimagined this process:What if students were approached by good‑fit universities?

This week, our seniors are getting on the Mētō platform. Mētō is a free service that reverses the university search process for our students. Mētō shares the student's profile with top universities around the world, including Vanderbilt, Boston University, Imperial College London, U of Toronto, UBC, IE University, and many more.
When a university is interested in the student's profile, a representative from the admissions team will personally reach out and invite the student to apply. Often, this will be the person who makes a decision on the student's application.

To learn more about Mētō, please check out their website!
