College Advice for High School Students


Senior Grades Are Important for College Admissions

Some students believe that once they have been accepted to college, they can relax and not worry about their grades anymore. This couldn't be further from the truth.  Most colleges request both first and second semester grades.  They also expect students to take all of the courses they have listed on their college applications. Colleges are sending a message that they have no problem turning down an applicant in June who has slacked off his second semester.  They always have a waitlist with students who have worked hard until graduation.

Five Reasons for Not Choosing a College

1. Your boy friend, girl friend, or good friends are all going
there or are already students there
2. You like the location better than the school
3. It's prestigious and that's what matters most
4. It's the only school you have visited
5. Your mom and dad are alumni

"As parents, Megan always considered our college counseling and suggestions as nagging.   We were pleased that she was so comfortable with you and took your college advising in the spirit it was intended.  She respected the deadlines you set for her and you made the college admissions process go so much smoother than we had expected it to.  You were a great college coach."
