Decisions are officially LIVE for your first-choice university! You should...

• Open your decision NOW... in the middle of AP Comp Gov... during Mrs. Teegarden's lecture... you've been waiting months for this news!!!

• Do nothing. My mom will check it for me (she has all of my applicant portal passwords). I'll let her tell me the decision.

• Double check that your application was complete... when was the deadline again?

• Wait until you're in a comfortable, safe place to check your decision and process the news.

You're ready to apply to college! You scored a 25 on the ACT

and you're unsure if you should send it to your colleges. You should...

• Send my test score to all of my colleges without doing research or talking to my College Counselor.

• Ask my friends if they sent their score or not -- because surely our situations are exactly the same!

• Ask my College Counselor and/or an Admission Officer for their professional opinion.

• Ask my favorite teacher what I should do.

It is College Day 2023!

One question you should NOT ask a College Admission Officer is...

• What sticks out most to you in an admission application?

• What academic support is offered to students with learning differences?

• Does your institution meet full-demonstrated financial need?

• My cousin said your school is a "party school." Is that true?

What is an example of INAPPROPRIATE use of AI in the College Application Process?

• Using Chat GPT to assist in writing resume activity descriptions.

• Using Chat GPT to write your college essay(s).

• Reviewing an AI generated college essay, which are often generic and bland, to better understand how NOT to write a college essay.

• Asking Chat GPT to recommend colleges in California that offer your first-choice major.

Today, a friend will find out their ED decision from the highly selective Swift College.
Looking for moral support, your friend asks you and four additional friends to meet
them after school to check the decision together as a group. You should...

• Invite six more friends to join -- what could go wrong?!

• Prepare them for denial -- Swift College is tougher to get into than the Eras Tour!

• Pull them aside and check in -- are you sure you want an audience for this highly personal moment?

• Run to party city to buy balloons and noisemakers. This is a celebratory moment!

You've applied to three colleges already, but you haven't told your college counselor yet. You should...

• Tell them today and fill out a college application folder -- that way, they can send your transcript!

• Nothing. Your college counselor is psychic and instantaneously knows exactly where you apply.

• Avoid your college counselor. AT. ALL. COSTS.

• Tell them in passing at the Panini station in the FDP and then never mention it again or fill out an application folder.

When I have a question that is college related and I could not answer
by doing research in Naviance or on my College's website, I should ask...

• My cousin's roommate's neighbor who is a current freshman at my top-choice school.

• Google

• My friends.

• My College Counselor.

My College Counselor can help me...

• With my main Common App essay and supplemental essays!

• Review my Common App before I hit submit!

• Connect with a college admission officer to answer my questions!

• Consider my options and make an informed decision!
