Some thoughts for juniors to ponder...

Dear juniors,

Please remember that we are asking for you to do 15 minutes of college-related work per night in order to establish an updated college list in the Cialfo shortlist of 12-15 universities by June 5. You are left to choose how you would like to spend that time yourself, but here are some things to consider for this week. Please read through the following:

• Please be sure to have taken care of your teacher letters of recommendation by Friday, May 22. Read this post for details: https://www.isdakar.org/post/teacher-letters-of-recommendation

• The US Common Application has added a COVID-19 related question: https://www.commonapp.org/blog/COVID-19-question-common-app

• Applying to the UK? UCAS, the application system, has posted all 2021 courses on their search engine: https://digital.ucas.com/coursedisplay/results/providers?destination=Undergraduate&distanceFromPostcode=25&studyYear=2021&sort=MostRelevant

• If you are preparing for the SAT or the ACT, please be aware that Revolution Prep has a special discount available for ISD students over the summer. See their ISD portal for more details (https://www.revolutionprep.com/partners/138289/), and see this flyer for the discount: https://6cf3a43b-7caa-4d0a-bb4b-84cb9cf45214.usrfiles.com/ugd/6cf3a4_c3309201d0b24c4bae20fa5ef88e90f2.pdf

• 5x5 Exercise. If you are still plugging away at your list and looking for some ways forward, please go back and revisit the 5x5 exercise we did in class back in January: https://6cf3a43b-7caa-4d0a-bb4b-84cb9cf45214.usrfiles.com/ugd/6cf3a4_047f4029b11243239bd0ed5e59c84888.pdf

Talk to you soon!
