Senior Slump? Snap Out from It! We understand you’ve got worked very hard throughout the last years that are few each of those challenging courses, getting involved in numerous extracurriculars, accepting leadership positions, etc. And, you are certainly working quite difficult now on your college applications. You could feel very tempted to put your school work off and only other, more exciting possibilities (senior ditch time, anybody?) But trust us, now’s maybe not the time to slack off. You came this far, and you want to make sure you finish strong. And not only on your own comfort of mind, though we do hope you’ve got your very own internal motivations. Realistically, though, what will probably motivate you most to keep those senior year grades up is just a little something called the Mid-Year Report. The Mid-Year Report is a Common application that must be submitted by your therapist after very first semester year that is senior become available. Our office takes these grades into account, and expects that the trend in your grades will carry on. That means that if you were earning grades that are high, there’s absolutely no explanation those As shouldn’t be reflected on your Mid-Year Report. And while we’re regarding the topic, senioritis isn’t an excuse to let your second-semester year that is senior slip, either. We will be sent a final transcript from your high college, and can make sure that those grades are intact, too. As always, we reserve the directly to rescind any admission decisions. So, moral of the story is: continue working hard, up until the very day that is last of year. And, prepare to work even harder (but have a lot of fun too) in college!
