Juniors, sign up with your counselor from Monday 3/25/24-Friday 4/5/24 for a short, individual meeting. During this meeting, we will review course selections for next year, complete a graduation credit and UC/ CSU A-G credit check, and discuss Letters of Recommendation, Common Application and UC/CSU application information along with SAT, ACT. Are they needed for your college applications? You may need to miss part of a class and will be responsible for any missed content. If you have any exams, please schedule your appointment around this.

Students, before your meeting, please complete the following steps in Naviance:

Step 1 - Complete Naviance’s “Colleges I am Thinking About” by saving 3 colleges to this list, preferably try the Supermatch option in Naviance.

Step 2- You can also utilize the Self Discovery surveys “ Career Interest Profiler” And “Career Cluster Finder” to look at how your interests match with college majors.
