Let great Family Connection™ tools like My Planner, SuperMatch®, and Scholarship List be your guide in these essential talks with your counselor:
Before starting the admissions process, ask for a broad overview of the process—how long things should take, milestones to look for, etc.
Do you love being around children? Are you great with computers? Sharing your personal interests up front will make the process go smoother.
Your counselor can help tackle any concern—like test anxiety, budgeting, or adjusting to dorm life—but only if they’re aware of your needs.
If going straight to a four-year institution doesn’t seem like the right move for you, don’t be afraid to ask about viable alternatives.
Don’t limit your talk to only forms and scheduling. Set aside time to chat and get pumped about this life-changing experience!
