Junior Jumpstart

The second edition of Junior Jumpstart ran as an all-day event on February 25th.  This program, presented by the ACS college counseling staff, introduces juniors to the university search and application process.

Similarly to last year, each student attended several workshops throughout the day including “Studying in the USA”, “Studying in the UK”, “Studying in Europe & Application Procedures”, “Get it Write: Essays and Personal Statements”, “Financial Aid Facts”, mock admission committee sessions, where students read “real” applications that had been sent to the US and UK and had to act as admission committees, as well as a special evening session for eleventh-grade parents that attracted over 140 parents. 

You can read more details about this event in the upcoming March issue of the ACS Newsletter.
