Fall SAT and ACT tests

Jen Smith July 17, 2019

Maybe you are happy with the test scores you have. If so, congratulations – that’s one part of the application process completed. If not, there’s time to take the SAT or ACT and get your results before early college deadlines. It’s not too early to register for SAT or ACT tests if you plan to take them in the fall. Register now to get best date and locations, as some locations will fill up.

ACT offers a September 14 test date. Registration is available at www.actstudent.org/
The SAT is offered on August 24. Register now for August or later fall dates at www.sat.collegeboard.org/register/
Check the SAT schedule for dates for Subject tests – some colleges require them.

Success in Life

Jen Smith June 24, 2020

Success in life is more than just graduating from the “best” college. However, finding the college that’s the best fit for you can help facilitate that success. Your best fit college may not be the school ranked #1 by US News, or the school your parents went to, or the school your best friend is applying to – you get the idea. So how do you find college that will help you pave the path to success?

Jullien Gordon has some advice on that topic in this TEDxTalk. Jullien talks about the four types of capital that you need to develop in order to achieve success

Personal capital
Intellectual capital
Social capital
Financial capital

Understanding these four types of capital can help you choose a college that will open doors for your future.

Take Action

As Jullien explains, you must be able to answer the question “Why do I want to go to college?”. To answer that question, you need to know yourself. Use the summer to consider what these four types of capital mean to you and why you want to go to college. An answer to this question will help you define the best fit college for you.

Goals for next year

Jen Smith June 17, 2020

For most students, it’s officially summer now! Given how this year ended, it may be hard to think about school in the fall. But now is a good time to reflect on this past year and set your goals for the upcoming school year.

Look back at this past year:

Are you happy with your grades?
Did you enjoy your classes?
Did you spend enough (or too much) time in extracurricular activities?
Are there activities or classes you wish you could have taken?
What one change will you make for school next year?
