CappCast: Tips For Juniors
Donna Virklan, College Counselor from Niles North High School in Skokie, Ill recommends that juniors start compiling a list of prospective colleges in the spring of their junior year and then getting on the road and actually visiting schools. Many high schools will give you a day off and many colleges have special visiting days just for juniors.
Also, Donna suggests that you take some time before application season begins to put together a resume and a personal statement. These two documents will be used over and over again the application process, and having them handy will be an important part of the process. She asks all her students to go over their personal statements with their guidance counselor who can provide valuable feedback. Get the tips on the CappCast podcast.
