Recap on what items are necessary for the new term:
a. Get several test prep books for quiet practice at home with a clock. Yes, a clock is necessary, the exams are all about speed. Books? You have two options. you can have a relative or friend in America purchase books from Barnes and Noble bookstore or you can purchase at our offices in Kingston or Montego Bay.
b) Relegate a few hours per day to quiet study. Have good lighting, quiet area, table and desk, not the bed!
c) Register online by January 31 for all exams at the end of your 3 month study period. Do not miss your deadlines.
d) Read a lot, read widely. One can find a list of recommended books on our website, www.version.org.
e) If you are in the process of applying to schools now, book your consultations with our office to get the show on the road. Ensure that you are signed up for classes and consultations.
f) We spoke about immigration. All students enrolled with us could be leaving within a few months to a year. One should have a valid passport handy.
g) Have the telephone numbers of your teachers. When in troubled waters on any area of the exam, one calls for help!
h) Yes, consultations cover visa processing. So after classes, exams, acceptance and visa processing, then we host a Grand Farewell Ceremony (online) as the Covid rages...to sort out your next steps overseas. Do not miss it.
i) Parents should dialogue with us at any point so they keep you all in line during the process.
CONGRATULATIONS
Hearty congrats to Mr. Coles currently at McAllie School who snatched a full ride to Rhodes College. And to our Mobay candidate for boarding school, Priya who got Havergal College, her first choice..And the list of acceptances continue to grow from strength to strength!
See you next week.
2021: A Year of Excellence
In 2021, we asked ourselves in the most turbulent of times, how would we continue to be a breeding ground for serving the common good? Across our New Brunswick campus, students and faculty took this clarion call and made 2021 a year of inspiration, growth, and progress. Let’s take a look:
President Jonathan Holloway believes education paired with public service can save democracy as he announced initiatives to make the university a leader in serving the common good.
Rutgers will take the lead to develop a plan with universities throughout the country to protect coastal areas increasingly threatened by extreme weather caused by climate change.
The Rutgers Center for Adult Autism Services Community Center will serve adults with autism spectrum disorder through vocational and recreational programs.
The HUB is designed to foster the growth of start-up companies and new technologies in a range of industries and to support the translation of research into real-world applications enabling new ventures to grow and expand the New Jersey economy.
We look forward to another year of excellence at Rutgers, and we hope you’ll continue to share in our community’s triumph. Happy New Year!
Hi Sandra, Tufts Pre-College Programs give students the opportunity to explore a future career path, build a skill set, and grow alongside other driven learners. Our summer intensives are 1-3 week programs designed to help students dive into a specific subject. Summer 2022 applications are OPEN! Do you know a student looking to make a difference? Explore our climate, leadership, and international relations intensives!
Climate Resilience Institute (July 10–22) In this intensive, students will identify a socio-environmental research question, gather and analyze data on the subject, and synthesize their findings into a college-level capstone project.
Leadership for Social Change (July 10–22 and virtually July 31-August 12) Students will be introduced to the myriad ways civic leaders respond to social change and ruptures in society. International Relations (July 24–August 5) Students will analyze current events and theoretical frameworks through interactive virtual seminars and interrogate key concepts in collaborative discussion sections.
Tufts has something for every driven and passionate student! In addition to all of our 1–3 week intensives, we also offer 6-week programs that help students experience Tufts' college academics—whether they want to take one class or enjoy a full summer session schedule.
