Junior Year - January/February

It is now SAT/ACT time! Make sure every college-bound student, that is everybody here at CHS, has attempted them at least once before the beginning of the summer.

College visit should also be something of consideration if it has not already happened. Once again, please look at the location, setting, size, affiliation, security, selectivity, program/major, and cost when making plans for visit.

Last but not least, keep up with your grades!

Senior Year - December/January

By now, all the students should have received notices on their "Early Decision" application status. I am sure lots of joy for some and much disappointment for many. What is next? For those with good news, it is time to figure out how t0 lower the cost of attending. Unfortunately for most of them, not a whole lot of choices out there due to the nature of the "Binding Admission" option, unless for those lucky few gotten into a school with the actual "Need-Blind" admission policy. For those without any good news, it is time to seriously consider/reconsider expanding your search a bit, regardless what is being offered, deferred, wait-listed, or even denied/rejected. Some of great schools you have ignored may still be OK for you to submit your application, meaning, their deadline has not passed. "Honors College", affiliated with big public institutions, should be one of the those viable options.
