This fall, my fellow seniors and I
have been busy writing college essays and completing college applications. Identifying potential colleges and applying to
numerous schools can be stressful and overwhelming. Fortunately, the College Counseling Office at
St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes School guides students every step of the way! With three full-time college counselors,
students receive individualized attention and guidance. My family and I had many questions about the
college application process, and my counselor answered every one. The College Counseling Office also provides
other great resources such as the SSSAS College Handbook, which contains
everything you need to know about applying for college. For example, the section on college
interviews really helped prepare me for my college visits. My interviewer asked some of the exact
questions from the handbook! The College
Counseling Office also schedules visits from many college admissions
representatives that allow students to develop personal relationships with colleges. Most importantly, SSSAS college counselors
work closely with each student to find the college that is the right fit. Students at SSSAS are incredibly lucky to
have such a great resource! Furthermore, if you are feeling particularly stressed, you can always head down to the College Counseling Office for a chat with your counselor and a handful of Swedish fish! Did I mention that the College Counseling Office always has candy…?
