Second Semester and College Knowledge

Welcome to second semester of junior year, SEAD!

BCSM was way too quiet last week without you, so it's great to have you back! I wanted to dedicate this week's blog post to an in-depth look at SEAD's College Knowledge blog (http://sead2college.blogspot.com), which is a fantastic resource for you all. This blog can help you build your college list, learn about the college application, and prepare for standardized testing. It can answer questions such as: What's in a personal statement? When should you apply to college? How do you apply for financial aid? How do you get scholarships? There are also resources for your families so you can have these conversations together. The blog compiles all this important information in one spot, and I hope you'll find this helpful.

Not only is this blog a major asset to you, but it can also help you win prizes! At the winter reunion, many of you received prizes for previous college knowledge work you've done. I've included the new point system below. Take the blog's quizzes for the double benefit of making yourself a more informed applicant and getting college apparel!

Best of luck getting back to classes!
