Juniors (and some seniors) if you need help narrowing down your college search take a minute to create an account with the Princeton Review. They have several "lists" broken down by academics, campus life, athletics, administration, politics, social scene, anything you could imagine! This is a great resource especially if you are looking at schools outside of Mississippi.
The Princeton Review also offers free online ACT prep classes. The next class is November 19. They offer one class each month. This is a great option if you cannot make the classes offered at the Get2College center in Southaven. The Get2College Center offers subject area intensive classes the week leading up to the ACT. Check out their schedule at Get2College.org
Finally, recommendation letter season is upon us. If you need a letter of recommendation from me these are the steps you will need to take:
1. Request a letter from me, preferably via email at least one week in advance.
2. Provide me with a copy of your resume and fill out the Jr/Sr Survey. I will email you the link after you request your letter.
3. Be prepared to give me details about the scholarship or program to which you are applying. Committees don't want me to re-write your resume; they want to know specifics about you and how your involvement has made the school/community a better place. Below are four questions I use to write your recommendation letters:
- How does this student balance academic achievement with school and community involvement?
- What is the one accomplishment, qualification or quality that sets this student apart from his/her peers?
- How has the student's school involvement made an impact on CHHS?
- How has the student's community involvement made an impact on the Olive Branch area?
