College Counseling Newsletter
November 2023
From Mrs. Myrick
SENIORS: You met your first college deadline! Don't forget your other deadlines - we still have some schools that applications are due on November 15, December 1, and January 1. If you have already completed these applications, go ahead and submit them! Then you will just need to check in with your recommenders and make sure your letters have been submitted. All the weight of college applications could be gone!
As a reminder, please be completing the College Acceptance Form below. I would love to put up some more college names on the Class of 2024 College Acceptance Board outside my office!
I have added the Scholarship Newsletter button to this month's newsletter! It will be on each month's college newsletter moving forward. It is right below the college acceptance form. Make sure you check that out as a first stop for scholarships that might be good for our students!
SENIOR PARENTS: If your students still have other application deadline, please encourage them to get those completed as early as possible! A huge weight is lifted for seniors when their college applications are all submitted :)

Juniors: Now is the time to start thinking about where you want to go to college! Go to as many college fairs as possible, speak with all different types of schools, and sign up to get on the mailing lists for those colleges.
I will be hosting as many colleges as possible throughout the semester. If there is a college coming that you are interested in, come to my office at the bottom of the stairs by the HS Commons to meet with the college admissions representative. Make sure you bring any questions you may have!
As always, feel free to come by my office and chat, email, or schedule an appointment if you have any questions!

Letters of Recommendation and Transcripts
Teacher Letters of Recommendation: Once you have spoken with your teachers, you will simply add in their contact information to the application portals. The teacher will receive a notification to their email that they need to upload a letter of recommendation for you.
As a reminder, not all schools allow or require letters of recommendation. Please make sure you are reading the requirements for each school you are applying to!
Transcripts: Adding in my name and email address to application portals under the counselor section will allow me access to send your transcripts to universities.
