It has been a pleasure assisting your child in the college preparation process over the last several months. I understand that this process can be overwhelming for the child and the parent. As such, I would like to provide you with a brief report on what we have covered in Junior Seminar – to date. In addition, I have included a list of tasks that your child should accomplish this summer in preparation for their transition into college.JUNIOR SEMINAR REPORT
– Students have taken a Career Exploration Assessment – a tool to help students identify and explore various occupations and to develop effective strategies to realize their career goals. Students have also completed a “My College Options” survey that has provided results on schools that have matched student profiles.
– Students have taken the March or May SAT I, or are planning to take the June SAT I – Reasoning Test.
– Students have created a COLLEGE BOARD account (administers of the PSAT & SAT) that allows students to create personal profiles and explore various schools that match their preferences. Students are able to research schools throughout the nation and determine if schools offer programs of study that are of interest to them. This resource also provides students with key information on admission facts and requirements. Students are also able to register for SATs and view score reports via this website.

– Students have created a FASTWEB account (scholarship search engine) that allows students to set-up a personal profile and receive scholarship opportunity updates that match their profile. Website: Fastweb.com
– Students have received information on various schools (NYC, NYS, and out-of -state schools) and Summer Institutes that college/universities offer.
– The City University of New York (CUNY) and the State University of New York (SUNY) have sent representatives to speak – to our juniors – on the various schools and programs offered at CUNY & SUNY.
– Students had the opportunity to visit NYACK College (Rockland Campus) in April. Students were informed of the programs of study offered at NYACK College and were given a tour of the campus. In addition, students attended a Financial Aid Seminar that addressed the types of Financial Aid available and how/when to apply.
– Students interested in the Culinary Arts visited the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY.
