Have a Great Summer
Posted on May 22nd, 2009 by cava
Juniors, congratulations! You have completed the first year of your IB studies. Relax, and enjoy some well deserved rest over the summer. However, the summer is also a great time to fit in some additional college research, including some campus visits.
The fall of your senior year will require a great deal from you on the IB front, so consider doing a few things this summer:
Finalize your initial college research using internet tools such as Naviance and the College Board.
Visit some college campuses. While there may not be much activity, you can still get a sense of the campus and surrounding environment.
Begin work on your college essay(s). That way your English teacher or guidance counselor can help you to “fine tune” it in the fall.
Have fun with the college search process. Remember it’s about finding a school that is a great “fit” for you. A little work over the summer will save you from a great deal of stress in the fall.
