The fourth and final senior Application Kickoff is tomorrow, August 24, from 9:00 am to 11:00 am in the Library conference room. All seniors must attend this session if they haven’t already attended one of the other three sessions offered earlier in August.

We look forward to kicking things off with the class of 2025!

About Application Kickoff

Episcopal College Counselors meet with all seniors to ensure a smooth start to the application season and senior year. 

We’ll revisit essential tools, including the Common Application and Scoir, ensuring each senior understands the necessary policies, procedures, and requirements.

In addition, seniors will complete important authorization forms, update their college lists, learn about required procedures, and set up individual meetings with their college counselor.

Throughout the year, we (college counselors) guide and support seniors with every aspect of the admissions process – from balancing the college list to brainstorming essay responses to reviewing applications and essays prior to submission.

Application Kickoff is one of many programs Episcopal College Counseling hosts each year to ensure that students are well-informed and well-supported.

The Challenge Success event originally scheduled to take place this evening has been rescheduled, as our guest speaker is ill and unable to travel today.

This important conversation will now take place:
Monday, September 9, 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. in the Deming Theatre located in the Munnerlyn Center.

Episcopal College Counseling is pleased to invite all juniors, seniors, and parents of all grade levels to join us for A Healthier Approach to College Admissions, presented by Challenge Success (a non-profit affiliated with the Stanford University Graduate School of Education).

This research-based workshop is designed to help students and families navigate the college admissions process with less stress and more confidence. It is a must-attend for anyone looking to embrace a more balanced and informed approach to college admissions.

*NEW DATE: Monday, September 9*
Time: 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.
Location: Deming Theatre, Munnerlyn Center

During this workshop, our guest speaker, Jon Kleiman will address common questions surrounding college admissions, including:

• What do college rankings really measure?
• Are students who attend more selective colleges better off later in life?
• What is “fit” and why does it matter?

Participants will gain valuable insights into the relationship between college selectivity and future outcomes, as well as practical strategies to reduce pressure and support your student’s well-being.

We look forward to seeing you there for this important and enlightening event!
