If you are applying to dental schools this year, you should know about the Dental Aptitude Test.

There are two exams per year and the deadline to register is January 15 for the February test (last test date available before university application deadlines). Students applying to dentistry programs in Québec this year should be aware that some universities will require that you take the Dental Aptitude Test before submitting an application.

The following website http://www.acoc.info/accueil/affichage.asp?B=943 explains what dentistry programs require this test.

If you need help, you can write to Nicole Anne Daigle, Guidance Counsellor, at nadaigle@slc.qc.ca or drop-in to see her in room 254 (schedule for drop-ins is on her door). 

Do you have a career in mind, but would like to get a closer look? Jeunes Explorateurs d'un jour allows you to see someone do the job you would actually like to do. It is a great way to confirm your career choice or discover a new one!

 Christmas doesn't have to be an orgy of conspicuous consumption.Here are some alternatives...

Gift exchanges that will keep you out of the malls

Propose a special kind of gift exchange to your loved ones. This will help you avoid last-minute store runs, long lines at the cash register, plunging bank balances...

• Something You Love exchange: Everyone brings a possession that they are willing to part with, e.g., a favourite book
• Musical Discoveries exchange: Everyone brings a CD of their favourite music (Bought and paid for by legal channels, of course!)
• I Don't Know Why I Have This, But... exchange: Everyone brings something they own, but don't use.
• Shared Memories exchange: Everyone contributes to a communal winter activity such as renting a cottage for a weekend
• Great Favour exchange: Everyone arrives with a homemade coupon for a service they'd like to offer as a present, e.g., babysitting, one snowstorm's worth of shovelling

Rethink the way you wrap

• Stock up on reusable cloth gift bags: some of the ones you give away may eventually find their way back to you
• Use the comics section of the newspaper to wrap presents
• If you love the shiny look of traditional wrapping paper, buy one roll and use it to decorate cardboard boxes that can be used again and again
• Give two gifts in one: use a pretty wooden or metal box to hold your gifts

Think community

The best way to imbue the holidays with meaning? Find a way to give to the community at large:

• invite a new Quebecer to join you
• volunteer as a family or group of friends
• volunteer to help at your child's school
• choose a cause to support as a group with your friends and family

Students planning to go study in the States are generally required to complete SAT testing. The test is administered by the College Board. Canadian students are considered to be international students. Students planning to take both the SAT and SAT Subject tests must do so on two separate testing days.

Although St. Lawrence is an authorized testing center, you must register online at  http://sat.collegeboard.org and pay your testing fees to the College Board. Study materials are available at your library. You may also use free online practice tools or order additional practice material. The registration booklets, as well as the preparation booklets, are available in the Counselling Office, room 254.  

Our test center code is 97261 (if you don't find our name on the list, you may also search by code). If you have any questions about the registration process, you may contact Nicole Anne Daigle, Guidance Counsellor.

 They are looking for people with:

• High overall academic achievement--especially with a passion for math and the sciences
• Creative and entrepreneurial minds
• Initiative and drive
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Leadership skills as well as the ability to work as a team member
• Participation in extracurricular activities

Applications are due by December 7, 2011 or January 18, 2012, and early applications are encouraged. 

If you would like more information, you can see me, Nicole Anne Daigle, in room 254 (library).
