Counselors Visit Classrooms
Buffett counselors are visiting classes during the next few weeks to talk to students about their elective course choices for next year. Students will rank their options, but they may not get their top choices because of course popularity. Rank ordering of the other classes will become very important. If you have questions about their choices and options, do not hesitate to call or email Buffett counselors.
