College News Brought to You by John Fanning, Assistant Director

Class of '14 College Update

Families of Seniors - With three weeks left in the application season, we are thrilled to announce the list of new college acceptances! Please see the list below. These college acceptances are in addition to those announced in a late January edition of HuskyBytes.

In addition, Class of '14 families, you have up to THREE very important steps remaining:

1. Compare financial aid packages to make your most informed decision.

2. Follow the instructions of your college of choice to make sure they receive your student's commitment to attend no later than May 1 (the national deadline, after which college revoke "unaccepted acceptances" and make offers to their waitlists).

And,

3. Follow the instructions carefully for orientation, registrations, housing, etc., at your college of choice. These are often "first-come, first-served" opportunities, so working on them as soon as possible is important!

If you have any questions about these items, please check in with your student's mentor.
