Dear juniors: Who are you? Where are you going? Should you go to college, a technical school, or to work? Should you join the Armed Services? What jobs can you get as a high school graduate? These are all normal questions for the young adult about to graduate from high school. At this point in your development, final answers to these questions are not expected of you. However, tentative answers are important. The types of training open to you are more varied than ever before. There are some guidelines that may help organize your decision-making strategy:

1. Know yourself; identify your assets and your weakness; 2. Have a dialogue with your parents; 3. Gather information on alternatives; 4. Set realistic goals or objectives; 5. Formulate your plans with your counselor.

THIS is the time to plan for the future! Senior year is NOT the time to begin the college process or to start to think about what you are going to do after high school! Get started now! The Guidance Department is always available to help. We look forward to working with you as you plan the next important step in your life’s journey!

HOW TO RESEARCH A COLLEGE --FAMILY CONNECTION (NAVIANCE)

Naviance is THE BEST place to start the process. Naviance is better than other search tools because it compares you to other Mahwah High School students. Naviance is a comprehensive website that students and parents can use as a tool in planning for college. Some of the features to explore are: College Lookup: This research tool provides comprehensive information on thousands of colleges. In

addition to general and admissions information, further data is presented on academics, cost and financial aid, student body characteristics, extracurricular and athletic programs. A link to each college’s website is provided. For colleges to which Mahwah students have applied, numbers applying, admitted, and enrolled are shown, with a link to a “scattergram” graph.

College Search: Enter criteria such as size, location, cost, availability of specific majors or athletic programs, and students can produce a list of colleges that meet their criteria.

Acceptance History: This feature shows all colleges to which Mahwah students have been accepted, as well as the number of students accepted and number enrolling at each.

Scattergrams: A graphical view of application outcomes (accepted, denied, waitlisted) at a college for recent Mahwah HS applicants, using GPA and SAT scores. Students can gauge their chances of acceptance by comparing personal GPA/SAT numbers with those of successful applicants.

Visit Schedule: As college representatives schedule information sessions at Mahwah HS, these are posted online. Click on Visit Schedule, or view the page of a particular college to see whether a session is scheduled. Students can sign up for a visit with Naviance.

Resources: This feature provides links to other useful websites relating to college information, financial aid, test preparation, NCAA eligibility, etc.

VOLUNTEERING Do you want to give back to the community by Volunteering? It looks great on a college resume! Check out this site (www.bergenvolunteers.org) for starters or e-mail Mrs. Mandel ([email protected]) for other ideas.

TYPES OF COLLEGES There are over 3,000 colleges and universities in the United States and most of these differ in many respects. Here are the most common types: Liberal Arts Colleges: Most four-year liberal arts colleges offer undergraduate degrees and focus on

providing a broad exposure to a science and humanities curriculum. [Wesleyan (CT), Amherst (MA), Smith (MA), Mount Holyoke (MA), Bryn Mawr (PA), Middlebury (VT)].

Universities: Universities offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees and are traditionally broken up into smaller colleges which specifically address the academic interests of their students. Universities can range from 3,000 to 50,000 students. [Ohio State University (40,000 students), Rutgers University (28,000), University of Michigan (26,000) , University of Rhode Island (13,000), University of New Hampshire (12,000), East Stroudsburg University (6,000), Bentley University (4,235), Brandeis University (3,500)].

Specialized Colleges: These are degree granting colleges which offer specialized programs in majors such as engineering, business and the arts (Rhode Island School of Design, Juilliard, Boston Conservatory, Albany College of Pharmacy, and University of the Sciences in Philadelphia).

Junior Colleges; Community Colleges: Most offer two years of college-level work. The students may pursue a two-year associate’s degree and/or continue their education at a four-year college. (Bergen Community, Rockland Community).

Other Post-Secondary Schools: Some schools offer programs in art, culinary sciences, auto and diesel mechanics, heating and refrigeration, electrical, technical, computer repair etc. [DeVry Technical Institute, Berkeley College of Business, Lincoln Tech (Diesel Mechanic, Heating and Refrigeration, Culinary)]

HOW TO CHOOSE A COLLEGE Program: Do you know what you want to major in? Does the school have strong offerings in that area? Do

you want a career-oriented school, i.e. engineering, art, or a general liberal arts program? Profile: Do you fit the profile of the school, i.e. standardized test scores, GPA, rank? Use the college profile

in the college guidebooks, and the Naviance program. Location: Do you plan to commute? How far from home are you willing to go? Do you prefer a rural,

suburban, or urban campus? Size: Have you visited schools of different sizes and decided on a preference? Finances: What are the costs of the school? Is financial aid need-blind? Does the school have cooperative

education programs? Quality of Life: Do most students live on campus? Do many students leave on weekends? What kinds of

housing are available? For how many years is housing guaranteed? Extracurricular Activities: Will you be able to play the sports you like, take part in musical or theatrical

productions or pursue other activities you most enjoy? Student Body: Is the student population diverse in ethnic and socioeconomic background? Do you see

yourself as a “fit” both academically and socially?

COLLEGE VISITS The best way to see if a college is right for you is to go visit. Call the Admissions Office and make an appointment for a campus tour. Juniors are permitted two excused absences for college visits (seniors are allowed four) but must obtain approval from their Guidance Counselor at least two days prior to the visitation. You can find the college visit form on the Guidance website.

Junior Guide – Class of 2017 Page 7

THE APPLICATION LIST The scattergram feature in Naviance is an AMAZING tool to determine which category a particular school falls in for you. Reach Schools: A school one is aspiring to attend, but one’s academic profile may not meet all of the

admissions’ criteria established by the specific school (i.e. SAT scores, class rank, and/or GPA.). A reach school may also be one which is so highly competitive that it is very difficult to predict acceptance.

Realistic Schools: A school where the applicant’s profile lies comfortably within the range of criteria. Likely Schools: A school where admission appears very likely (i.e. SAT scores, class rank and GPA are

within the high end or exceed the admissions’ criteria).

ADMISSION TERMS AND PROCESSES Rolling Admissions: The college reviews the admissions folder as soon as all information is complete and

returns a decision in a timely fashion on a “rolling” basis (no specific date). Early Decision: The student applies to his/her first choice school by a specified date early in the fall and

agrees by contract to enroll in that college if offered admission. Students can be denied admission or deferred to the regular applicant pool. Early Decision is intended for students who have a definite first choice school to which they are ready to make a commitment if accepted. Please speak to your counselor about completing additional applications.

Early Action: This is a non-binding decision which follows the same timetable as Early Decision but allows candidates until May 1 to accept or decline. Students can be accepted, deferred to the regular pool or denied admission outright (not be deferred to regular admissions pool).

Priority Deadlines: Some large universities have priority deadlines. Completed applications received before the priority deadline is more favorably looked upon.

The Common Application & The Essay

The Common Application (informally known as the Common App) is an undergraduate college admission application that applicants may use to apply to any of 517 member colleges and universities in 47 states and the District of Columbia, as well as in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and United Kingdom. You can access the Common Application AFTER August 1st at www.commonapp.org.

Common Application Essay Prompts (2015-2016 Application) 1. Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their

application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story. 2. Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what lessons did

you learn? 3. Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the

same decision again? 4. Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What did you do or experience there

and why is it meaningful to you? 5. Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to

adulthood within your culture, community, or family.

The college essay is your chance to show an admissions representative that you are more than just an SAT score or GPA; that you are a living, breathing human being. Be yourself! Don’t try to tell the college what you think they want to hear. Writing the essay is the hardest part about the application process. You should focus on ONE idea! What is the one aspect of your personality that you want to get across to an Admissions Representative? Your essay should be between 1 ½ to 2 pages tops! You can find sample essays on line to brainstorm some ideas. Remember: Proofread! Proofread! Proofread! Here is a website that may give you some direction: https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/get-in/essays/8-tips-for-crafting-your-best-college-essay

FINANCIAL AID INFO Mahwah High School Scholarships in Naviance: Check frequently as new scholarships are added weekly. The Net Price Calculator: (http://netpricecalculator.collegeboard.org/) is a tool that you can use to

estimate your “net price” to attend a particular college or university. Net price is the difference between the “sticker” price (full cost) to attend a specific college, minus any grants and scholarships for which you may be eligible. Sticker price includes direct charges (tuition and fees, room and board) and indirect costs (books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses).

How does it work? 1. First, the Net Price Calculator looks at the sticker price. 2. Then, using the financial information you enter into the calculator, the Net Price Calculator

estimates the amount of money your family would be expected to contribute to pay for college.

3. Finally, the Net Price Calculator evaluates your eligibility for financial aid at specific colleges by matching your financial and personal characteristics to the criteria that schools use to distribute financial aid (need-based grants as well as merit-based scholarships).

CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE: (https://profileonline.collegeboard.com) is the financial aid application service of the College Board. More than 500 colleges, universities, graduate and professional schools and scholarship programs use the information collected on the PROFILE to determine eligibility for nonfederal student aid funds.

FINAID: (http://www.finaid.org/) FinAid is the most comprehensive free resource for objective and unbiased information, advice and tools about student financial aid.

FAFSA 4Forecaster: (https://fafsa4caster.ed.gov) Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This form needs to be prepared annually by current and prospective college students (undergraduate and graduate) in the United States to determine their eligibility for student financial aid (including the Pell grants, and work-study programs).

Collegeboard Scholarship Search: (http://apps.collegeboard.org) A good place to start to help locate scholarships, internships, grants, and loans.

THE RESUME (See document at the end of this booklet.)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Besides focusing on my grades, what else can I do to prepare myself for college in my junior year? A: Take a look at your resume (You can input information in the resume section on Naviance.). What are you missing? Community Service? Leadership? When you figure it out—fix it! Q: How many times should I take the SAT or ACT? A: After you settle on your testing strategy, most students take the test 2 times in the spring and if you need to once in the fall of senior year. Studies have shown that any time after 3 doesn’t improve your score. Q: How do I register for the SAT’s/ACT? A: For the SAT (collegeboard.com)…for the ACT (act.org). You will find information on test dates and deadlines on both sites. Hint: when you register, tape your usernames and passwords to your computer. You will need that information to send scores during your senior year. If you lose that information, it can be very difficult to retrieve. Q: What are some tips for going on a college visit? A: First, you need to make sure you fill out the proper paperwork so your absence is excused. Juniors get 2 excused absences. A personal visit to a post-secondary institution is often the most useful step in helping students and their parents decide whether or not to apply to a particular school. Here are a few other tips: Take the admissions tour. The tour guide will show you the main parts of the campus as well as answer

any questions that you may have. Take advantage of this opportunity to find out history and other facts about the college.

Take your own tour. After the admissions tour is over, you may want to take time to tour the campus on your own. This will allow you to view areas that were not part of the admissions tour, such as the parking facilities or actual classrooms. Check out areas that will specifically pertain to your major. If you want to major in biology, check out the labs. If you want to major in music, take a look at the music rooms.

Don't forget to ask questions. You may want to prepare a list of questions to ask beforehand just to make sure that you don't forget anything. Ask questions regarding academic, financial, housing/food, social, community, athletic, and safety aspects (Do a Google search for some ideas).

Take Notes. You will be visiting a lot of colleges and they will all become a blur after a while. Have a notebook for your college visits handy so you can write down your initial impressions.

Talk to the students. Don’t be shy about stopping a student on campus and asking them how they like it. Or why did they apply? Most students have no problem offering an opinion.

Grab a copy of the school newspaper. Tons of information about the flavor of the school you won’t find in any guidebook or online.

Eat in the cafeteria. Q: Where do I begin with the college process? A: The best place to start is on Naviance. Go to Colleges>>>College Search. This simple search will help you clarify what you are looking for. After you do this search, you can “pick” some of these schools and add them to your list. When you have your Junior Conference with your counselor, you will have something to start with and your counselor will help you from there. Q: I am getting inundated with mail from colleges, what should I do with it? A: The trick is to read the information carefully, looking for the college characteristics that interest you. If you already know that you want a small- to medium-sized liberal arts college located in the Midwest, for example, keep that in mind as you look at college mail. The text can also offer you clues about the college's "personality" or educational philosophy. When you find a college with characteristics that interest you, put the brochure in a separate box or pile-your "possible" box. When you're ready to start some more in-depth research, the "possible" box will be a good place to start. Q: I am completely and utterly lost! What do I do? A: Take a deep breath and see your counselor! All juniors and their parents will sit down with counselors in the spring to iron out the process, but you need to do a little work before then.
