Preparing for College
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009Fall ushers is an important time for juniors and seniors in high school who are preparing for college applications, and it is also an exciting moment for newly admitted and returning college students to begin the new academic year on college campuses across the United States. With recent budget cuts, many high schools have been forced to let school counselors go, forcing many high school students online to get advice on topics, such as writing college essays and getting letters of recommendation. In addition, many college students struggle to navigate a larger campus with stricter academic requirements than they are accostomed to in high school. We have partnered with John Wiley & Sons, Inc, a top education publisher, to bring high school students, college students, the most practical tips and advice for navigating the transition to college. See here for a complete collection of articles from John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
High school students may be interested in articles on why the college admission process has become so competitive, what colleges look for in an applicant, and choosing a college once you have been admitted.
College students will likely benefit from articles on everything from Organizing Your Study Space, Participating in Extracurricular Activities, and Managing Academic Pressures at College.
There is even information for students who are seeking an alternative to the traditional four-year college, including community college.
We hope that students and parents find this information helpful. Typically, this content is available only on the bookshelf of your local bookstore, so please let us know if you would like to see more of this kind of information!
