You're a Rising Senior

Can you believe over a month has passed since the last Kiltie Konnection? Summer has begun, Independence Day is right around the corner and, most importantly, you are officially a high school senior. Congratulations! Because the Kiltie Konnection is for high school juniors, this will be the last issue you receive. Before we go our separate ways, here are a few reminders as you embark on your college search.

Visit! Visit! Visit!

Summer is great time to visit college campuses. So, grab a road map and start your summer adventure. Remember to visit a wide variety of schools to help narrow your search.

ACT Scores

You should receive your ACT test scores soon. If you decide to retake the ACT, don't wait until Thanksgiving - you'll be too busy. For summer and early fall test dates, click here.

Applications

While relaxing by the pool this summer, start drafting your application essays. Having them perfected before school starts will save you loads of time in the fall. As always, don't forget to proofread! Summer is also the best time to start asking for letters of recommendation - the more time you can give someone to write your letter, the better.

I hope the Kiltie Konnection has given you useful tips and insight into the college search process. If at anytime you have questions, don't hesitate to contact us!

Spring Term at Alma is a one-month immersion on a single academic topic that offers learning experiences not typically available during the more traditional 15-week fall and winter terms. For example, during Spring Term '09, students toured cultural sites in Peru, studied alternative energy in Sweden, analyzed theatre and dance in London, and examined Native American culture at the Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota.
