College Admissions
At St. Monica Academy, every junior takes a College Research Class to familiarize and prepare the student for the college admission process. Each student develops a student admission profile built on an understanding of their strengths and interests both academic and extracurricular that will benefit them in their search for the right college. Class assignments cover research of college choices, developing a college “apply list,” practicing SAT/ACT essay writing using actual test prompts, taking mock SAT and ACT exams under test conditions, discussing college visits, and developing summer plans that will build their college applicant profile.
Throughout the school year, the College Counselor meets one-on-one with the Juniors and Seniors in order to
– Answer any questions the student has about the college admissions process
– Assist the student in staying on schedule and completing all components of college applications
– Discuss educational concerns and explore methods for improving academic performance
– Discuss personal or social issues in a confidential setting
– Help the student achieve present and future goals in education
