Follow-up conferences are scheduled to continuously refine theÌýemerging list ofÌýchoices and then walk each student through every step along the application path.

Each student is guided through the process of obtaining letters of recommendation. Applications from each college are reviewed by our counselor, and oversight is provided in completing the forms and assuring timely submittal. In addition, 91¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ English teachers work with their students in preparing a final draft of the essay required for most college applications.
