what should i be doing now?

​Some things you should be doing now:
  • Schedule your senior one-on-one meeting with Mrs.Kropelnicki in September.  If your parents want to attend, please invite them. (30 minute meeting should be enough time).  Prepare to bring the following with you:
    • Final list of Colleges
    • List of essays (number of essay, topics and due dates)
    • Deadline Plan (early action, early decision, rolling decision, regular decision)
    • Testing Plan
    • Recommendation requests
  • Draft your main essay. Turn the first essay into Mrs. Ventilla on the first day of English class.
  • Draft your supplemental essays and review with Essay mentor.
  • Fill out the data section of the Common App, UC App and/or Individual College Applications.
  • Update Maia Learning with "Considering List" and move to "Applying List", if ready.
  • Request recommendations from teachers and counselor (Ask 2 teachers in case any college requires 2.  If a college requires 1 teacher recommendation, only 1 will be sent.) 
  • Sign up for virtual College Visits to SVHS on Maia Learning. 
  • Keep your college material and deadlines organized! The SV College Search Spreadsheet can be used to track your deadlines.
  • Create an email address to use for all things college related.  Be sure it reflects your maturity and check it 2-3 times a week as you progress through the application process.  Colleges use email to communicate with you. 
  • Clean up your social media.  Assume everything you post is up for discussion.  ​
