This Saturday is the March exam date for the SAT. Many students have been sent via email, several online mock exams to complete before Saturday. If a student has not received this email, please advise us. Practice makes perfect. Do something many times, you would master your efficiency levels. Come on Versaners!
APPENDED NOTICES
This week, there are many attachments. So many notices from colleges, schools and universities. Please avail yourselves of the information.
MARCH
March is not only the month for SAT but it is usually the month of decisions for Regular Admission. I must warn that students will receive acceptances, Wait-List and Rejections. Do not panic - it is what it is and not a reflection of your intellectual abilities. It is a weird science though there exist a few predictable factors. This month will herald a few surprises. The hilarious outcome is that of a student who never could have predicted acceptance to certain schools. Yet, it happened. So with bated breath, just hand in there, fingers crossed and a prayer.
CONTINUED ACCEPTANCES
Calesha Mills - Howard University
Rachel McGhie - Boston University (PhD in Forensic Science)
Jodi-Ann Forrester - Rensselaer Polytechnic
SUNY Binghampton
Joshua Insang - Whittier College
See you next week!

Dear Sandra,
We know that at this time of year you are getting questions from your students and families about summer enrichment opportunities. If you have students who have a passion for politics, we would like to introduce you to a dynamic summer pre-college program on the campus of Salve Regina University in seaside Newport, RI.
The Summer Institute for Politics is offered through the Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy at Salve. The Pell Center is a leading think tank focused on a variety of issues including promoting bipartisanship, restoring the power of local media, and the role of media in democracy. This week-long, residential program will expose students to many opportunities in politics and how their generation can help our country move past the cynicism sometimes associated with political discourse.
WHEN: July 14 – 20, 2024
WHERE: Salve Regina University, Newport, RI

Summer is a great time for students to set themselves up for a successful college search and application process. Below we’ve included some resources your students can use as they plan their summer break. We encourage you to share these tips with your students and their families. |
3 tips for a productive summer
|
College search |
Start the college search by reviewing college admissions websites. Your students can explore these websites to see a quick overview of each college’s academics, community, and admissions process.
|
Involvement |
Emphasize the importance of getting involved. Your students can consider ways to extend their impact beyond school like volunteering in their community, working a summer job, or participating in college summer programs. Hopkins offers several programs, including Summer at Hopkins and Engineering Innovation, where they can meet like-minded peers and dig deeper into their interests. Participation in a summer program at Hopkins does not give an advantage to applicants during the admissions process. |
Events |
Encourage your students to attend virtual or on-campus events. Hearing directly from an admissions counselor or current college students can help high school students get a sense of what the university values and what kind of students thrive in their community.
Counselors interested in attending these events should sign up through our Counselor & Educator Event Options. |
