East Catholic Helps Simplify the College Application Process

Formal discussion of the college selection process begins junior year when all juniors meet individually with their school counselor to review the search process. Ways we help:

  • Highlight college fairs to families and encourage them to attend as early as sophomore year
  • Help juniors narrow the search so they can visit potential college choices while the colleges are in session, especially during February and April school vacations
  • At the start of senior year, counselors meet with seniors to discuss their choices and begin the application process
  • College application series for students in September (invitations will be emailed after the first day of school)
  • Receive all college applications in the school counseling office before Thanksgiving break
  • Hold an evening program in September to explain the financial aid process to seniors and their parents
