After all the blood, sweat, and tears we put into our college applications, we can’t help but dream of that special moment when we receive our coveted letters of acceptance. But (record scratch!) there are more potential outcomes to our applications than either outright acceptances or rejections. While all applications eventually end in one of these results, applicants are often either first deferred or waitlisted along the way.

Anyone who has submitted an Early Decision/Action application knows the anxiety and ballooning hopes that go into waiting to hear back from a dream college. And when you do receive that cherished news, there’s only really one result that is satisfying: certainty, a resounding YES or NO. Then there’s the deferment letter, which essentially means that you are good, but not good enough, and now you’ll be competing against the whole Regular Decision pack.

Between completing college applications and finishing out the year with lots of school work, most students have not had time to apply for scholarships. Now that break is starting, I am hoping they will find/make the time to apply for at least a few. I have compiled a very short list of some with December and January deadlines. Check them out and use a little of your holiday break free time to APPLY!

A Glimpse Into the Future of Higher Education Post 2020: 5 Trends. by Kathy de Jong, Independent Educational Consultant. Nobody can say 2020 has been normal, and the higher education world is no different. It’s difficult to say how many of the changes in secondary and college education due to the pandemic will stick, but there is no doubt that what “going to college” meant to us years ago, is not what it will be moving forward.

Let’s face it: virtual school stinks. However, it looks like it’s going to be a reality for at least a few more months in many parts of the US. That means that it is important for juniors to think strategically this semester when it comes to college prep. While some schools do not require students to officially ask for letters of recommendation until the fall of their senior year, most students end up asking their junior year teachers.

As a college admissions consultant, I share my enthusiasm and genuine excitement about the college process with my students. Sometimes, I am greeted with an equal level of engagement and interest. Other times, I am met with disengaged students who are feeling stressed, frustrated or even angry. Why is this the case? Senior year is filled with many emotional ups and downs.
