What would you tell the juniors?

I'm sorry for my silence last night. I was in Richmond at a program for juniors and their parents at Cosby High School. This time of year is always interesting because we work with seniors who are at the end of this process and juniors who are just starting at the very same time.

Which leads me to ask the seniors to leave a few comments with words of wisdom for the juniors. What do you wish someone had told you before you started this process? What would you have changed about your college search?


I'm the Dean on call today, so I won't have much time to answer your questions during the day. I'll do my best to respond to the comments that were posted last night and get you an update from the printing room, but I might not be able to post until this evening. Hang in there!
