Secondary Newsletter 2 – August 13, 2021
News From The College Counseling Department
Thanks for reading the counseling post this week. In my weekly post I will share interesting articles and information from the education, counseling and college admissions experts from all over the world. I will share invitations for our students and parents to attend webinars and virtual events as well.
The time is here for G12 students to write their personal statements or motivational letters. I have some great links to resources and/or workshops about writing a quality Personal Statement. Please have a look at the links and don’t hesitate to send me an email if you have any questions.
The Common App essay prompts will remain the same for 2021-2022 with one exception. We will retire the seldom-used option about solving a problem and replace it with the following:
Reflect on something that someone has done for you that has made you happy or thankful in a surprising way. How has this gratitude affected or motivated you?
