The school year has begun, and most students are in a period of adjustment. For many, they feel overwhelmed by the pressure to resume their academic lives, especially if they are juniors in high school and are college bound. For everyone who is feeling like they are stitching different aspects of their lives (remembering the fun of the summer, returning to school, building a school community, participating in a sport or a theater production, etc.) together, this is a wonderful time to take a deep breath and give yourself a moment to readjust to the demands of going to school because a junior needs to focus on the college application process this year. Be gentle with yourself and remind yourself that you are just ending a two-month vacation and it takes time to build up the academic strength that you might have had at the end of your sophomore year. But here at EA, we know you can excel because we witness students do it each year.
If you are planning on going to college, have some family discussions about how to proceed in the college process. Ask yourself questions and write down the answers. One question you should definitely ask yourself if you have a very specific career plan like you want to become a chemical engineer or a virtual reality designer, is: “Which schools have that program?” Simply use Google to search for those schools and then ask more general questions, like those below, once you have found them.
The EA Team wants to offer you some questions you could ask yourself to begin this process. You might have an immediate answer or some of them might require some serious thought or check with a college counselor. Here are some useful ones to ask.
Do I want to go to a college in a city or do I prefer a suburban or rural environment?
Do I prefer a huge school like Michigan or a small one like Wheaton?
How much money can my family afford to spend on college?
Have I matched my grades and SAT/ACT scores to those required by the college of my dreams?
How hard am I willing to work to get into the colleges of my choice?
Remind yourself that there are ways to assist yourself to achieve what you want, and at EA, we are happy to help. We want everyone to know that EA offers academic coaching, and assistance with completing all parts of the Common Application, as well as SAT and ACT preparation courses. Our next six-week SAT session begins in two weeks, and we have a few spaces left, so please join us.
Give us a call (educationallyaware@gmail.com ) or send us an email(educationallyaware@gmail.com ) or just visit our website. Let us know if we can help a little or a lot. And remember, there is always an answer to any concern.
