A
A
So
if,
for
some
reason,
there's
something
that
you
want
to
talk
about
and
it's
not
really
suited
towards
a
video
I'm,
always
happy
to
to
hang
around
and
I
would
say
it
might
be
something
along
the
lines
of
specific
for
your
child.
So
like
we
don't
need
that
to
be
something
that
absolutely
everybody
here
good
morning.
A
A
F
A
Anybody
else
done
anything
interesting
good
morning,
working
working,
I'm
working,
we
always
forget
about
working.
So
the
reason
why
we
wanted
to
talk
about
this
today
is
that
we
often
will
get
students
reaching
out
to
us
and
parents
reaching
out
a
lot
of
times.
It's
a
student
is
coming
in
because
they
said.
A
Says
I
need
to
come
talk
with
you
and
why
I
think
it's
a
really
good
thing
to
talk
about
is
because
who
a
student
is
outside
of
their
academic.
Life
is
represented
when
they
apply
to
college,
and
sometimes
students
don't
have
a
lot
of
opportunity
during
the
regular
school
year
to
show
their
interest
or
show
their
interest
in
a
particular
topic.
A
Good
morning
so,
for
example,
like,
for
example,
we
don't
have
a
lot
of,
we
don't
have
any
courses
that
deal
with
artificial
intelligence,
and
so
sometimes
we
get
students
who
will
come
in
and
they'll
say
you
know.
This
is
an
area
of
interest
of
mine.
You
know
what
can
I
do,
how
can
I
make
use
of
the
summer?
A
That's
something
I'm
really
interested
in
or
we
get
a
student
who's
like
I'm,
really
busy
during
the
school
year
I'm
having
a
hard
time
showing
who
I
am
creating
myself
as
a
multi-dimensional
person
outside
of
my
academic
life.
What
can
I
do
I
think
a
summer
program
or
or
travel
volunteer
whatever?
It
is.
I
think
that
can
be
an
ideal
time
for
a
student
to
pick
up
a
course.
A
A
Could
be
something
local,
but
it
also
could
be
something
at
a
college
or
university.
So
what
I'm
going
to
show
you
today
is.
It
is
something
that
we've
combined
compiled
over
time
and
the
way
it's
split
up
it's
by
a
college
or
university.
Okay.
So
sometimes
we
get
students
who
come
in
they're,
like
I'm
gonna
go
to
court.
Now,
I'm
gonna
go
to
Cornell
this
summer,
I,
don't
care
what
course
I
take
I
just
want
the
experience
of
being
at
like
a
Cornell
fine.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
It's
not
that
all
colleges
and
universities,
if
you
want
to
go
that
route,
have
this
kind
of
a
timeline,
but
it
is
definitely
not
too
early
to
start
these
conversations
with
your
child
about
what
they're
doing
over
the
summer
making
their
summer
meaningful,
and
that
does
not
mean
that
they
have
to
give
up
camp.
It
doesn't
mean
that
they
shouldn't
work.
A
I
think
the
general
consensus
is
saying:
I
hear
that
the
answer
to
that
is
no
I
will
say
where
I
have
seen
it
be
helpful.
I
had
a
student
one
year
good
morning
who
took
a
course
at
the
University
of
Pennsylvania
in
nutrition
and
one
of
the
professors
felt
so
strongly
about
the
students
participation
in
the
class
that
he
actually
rewrote
a
part
of
his
curriculum
and
syllabus.
A
Because
of
some
information
that
this
student
did
some
research
on
and
he
wrote
the
student
a
letter
of
recommendation
and
that
student
ended
up
wanting
to
go
to
University
of
Pennsylvania
and
had
this
amazing
letter
of
recommendation
from
a
particular
from
from
a
professor.
It
helped
she
got
it.
That's
a
story
of
one
right,
but
you
could
see
where
that
would
be
helpful,
and
that
does
happen.
Like
oftentimes,
our
students
will
get
a
letter
of
recommendation,
possibly
from
somebody
that
they
took
a
college
level
course
and
to
have
somebody
who
teaches
at
the
college
level.
A
Writing
you
know
a
recommendation
for
your
child,
whether
or
not
they
end
up
going
to
that
school
or
using
that
recommendation
to
just
apply
to
colleges.
That's
pretty
powerful,
and
it's
also,
if
I
remember.
The
letter
correctly
talked
about
the
different
skills
that
a
college
student
would
need
to
have
to
be
successful
and
really
was
very
specific
about
how
that
student
already
had
that
had
already
mastered
that
and
I
thought
that
was
powerful.
H
Let
me
know
if
this
takes
us
too
far
off
course,
but
similar
to
this,
sometimes
our
children
have
some
space
in
their
schedule.
You
know
where
an
elective
slot
might
be.
Maybe
they
can't
find
an
elective
that
sort
of
fits
their
interests
or
their
schedule
and
I
understand
they
can
take
some
sort
of
pre-college
type
classes.
So
they're
still
learning
about
that,
but
is
this
a
similar
resource?
Could
they
go
to
these
links,
or
is
this
just
summer?
This.
A
This
would
be
more
summer.
I
think
this
is
more
focused
on
summer,
but
you
know
the
counselor
could
certainly
help
a
student
if
they're
looking
to
take
like
a
course
kind
of
like
at
the
same
time,
like,
of
course
outside
of
school
during
the
school
year.
You
know
we
can
help
a
student
try
to
find
that.
A
Sometimes
we
know
certain
colleges
that
allow
a
high
school
student
to
take
college
level
courses,
because
not
all
colleges
will
allow
that,
for
example
WCC.
You
have
to
be
I
think
between
your
Junior
and
Senior
year
of
high
school
in
order
for
them
to
allow
you,
but
we
could
help
with
that.
But
that's
not
necessarily
what
you
might
be
able
to
do
is
click
on
this
information
and
then
navigate
the
bar
to
something
else.
But
it's
more
focused
on
Summer.
A
Again,
I
think
it's
really
helpful
for
our
students,
who
are
struggling
to
find
the
time
to
to
make
themselves
a
multi-dimensional
student
and
an
applicant
at
the
college
level
and
for
a
student
to
say,
I'm,
really
passionate
about
a
particular
subject
and
I'm
going
to
dedicate
two
weeks
of
my
life
over
the
summer
towards
something
that
I
really
really
am
passionate
about
that
I
can't
seem
to
fit
in
during
my
my
school
year.
I
think
this
could
be.
You
know
we
don't
want
to
add
more
stress
to
students.
A
I
A
Not
it's
all
encompassing
so
it
we
could
certainly
tell
you
like
you
know
if
we've
had
a
negative
experience
somewhere
or
if
we've
had
a
particular
positive,
but
that
would
that
would
involve
like
a
conversation
with
the
with
the
counselor.
This
is
like
it's
not
an
exhaustive
list,
but
it's
more
like
this
time
of
year,
the
counselors
and
I
get
probably
five
emails
a
day.
Oh
recommend
students
for
the
WPI
summer
program.
D
Fine,
even
if
they
don't
like
you,
said,
they're,
not
necessarily
vetted,
so
we
don't
always
know
the
outcome,
but
at
the
very
least,
if
it's
the
child's
interest,
does
it
help
with
the
essays
and
the
interviews
going
forward
like
oh?
Why
did
you
do
this
and
yeah?
So
even
it
doesn't
sound
like
there's
a
negative
If.
The
child
invested
in
it.
A
Right,
you
know,
I
would
say
this.
Child
just
needs
to
be
like
want
to
really
do
it
more
than
you
want
them
to
do
it
so
I
think,
that's
you
know,
because
they
are
giving
up
time
over
their
summer.
Some
of
this
stuff
is
virtual,
so
they
could
be
doing
it
from
home,
but
attending
classes
I'm,
not
sure
that
they're
going
to
get
as
enriching
an
experience
as
if
they
were,
you
know
physically
somewhere,
but
these
run
from
one
week
up
to
like
almost
the
whole
summer.
A
J
J
Pm
in
the
College
and
Career
Center,
new

Otherwise
our
editorial

January
20th
at
6
15
pm
at
the
Brewster
ice
arena?
You
can
help
them
make
pink
the
rink
a
huge
success
to
bring
your
appetite
and
your
money
to
the
cafeteria
every

This
week
will
not
do
the
point.
You
can
also
purchase
a
pink

sweatshirt,
so
you're,
ready
to
peek
out
when
you
come
to
the
game,
have
a
great
day
and
go
Bobcats.
K
A
A
It's
a
way
that
we
have
students
build
a
resume
okay,
it's
also
an
opportunity
for
our
students
to
start
cataloging
and
and
putting
together
a
list
of
colleges
that
they
are
interested
in
and
ultimately
it
is
the
way
that
our
seniors
request
high
school
transcripts
and
they
request
letters
of
recommendation
from
their
teachers.
All
of
that
is
sent
through
the
Naviance
platform.
A
Some
of
these
assessments
right
might
really
help
them
start
to
hone
in
on
what
their
skills
are,
what
their
interests
are,
what
their
intelligence
is,
what
kind
of
kind
of
naturally
for
them,
and
then
a
lot
of
these
assessments
couple
that
with
potentially
some
careers.
So
it's
a
starting
point
for
your
child,
and
we've
already
had
our
students
take.
A
The
achieve
Works
personality
profile
and
this
one
is
about
it's
about
15
minutes,
and
it
basically
helps
them
come
up
with
like
what
are
my
strengths.
Other
part,
is
they
said
what
are
my
challenges?
What
are
my
challenges
of
being
in
a
relationship?
One
of
my
challenges
in
a
group
setting
what
might
be
my
challenge
learning
in
a
particular
class
and
that's
where
I
think
this
is
really
helpful,
but
then
it
also
links
to
to
different
careers
that
your
child,
because
of
their
personality,
might
be
a
better
suited
to
it.
A
Again,
that's
only
15
minutes,
it's
not
a
lot
of
time.
All
of
your
children
should
have
already
done
that
it's
in
their
Naviance
account.
If
you
want
to
review
it
with
your
child,
you
can,
if
the
child
said
I,
don't
think
this
represents
me
very
well.
They
can
start
over.
They
could
take
it
again.
We
all
change
okay,
so
we
had
some
of
our
our
senior
mentors
this
year.
A
When
we
were
in
the
classes,
we
were
asking
them
about
their
their
results
and
they
said
they
went
back
and
read
it
and
they
feel
like
they're
so
different
now,
so
they
want
to
take
it
again.
So
it's
been
four
years
during
you
know
a
very
developed
during
a
developmental
time
for
your
child.
They
change.
When
did
they
take
it?
They
take
it
depending
on
your
child's
year
in
high
school.
They
either
took
it
in
eighth
grade
or
ninth
grade.
B
A
If
I
have
to
learn
something
I'd
rather
talk
with
someone
to
learn
it
like
asking
questions
along
those
lines
and
what
they
come
up
with
from
this
one
is:
what
kind
of
an
environment
is
best
suited
for
my
learning,
some
of
our
students
need
hustle
and
bustle.
They
need
to
kind
of
be
in
the
center
of
action.
Other
students
need
to
be
more
secluded.
Some
students
need
to
be
listening
to
music,
and
this
really
teases
that
out
this
one
is
about
20
minutes.
A
A
A
The
interest
profile-
I,
don't
know
if
you
all
know
the
Holland
interest.
That
was
a
thing
back
in
like
the
80s
and
90s,
those
they
produce
codes,
and
then
the
questions
would
be
like.
Do
you
like
taking
care
of
children
at
like
daycare,
big
questions
along
those
lines,
and
then
it
links
them
not
only
to
careers
but
also
things
like
starting
salary.
A
A
A
Yeah,
certainly
not
our
our
goal,
but
for
a
student
who
is
struggling
or
you
know,
we're
having
academic
advising
meetings
and
our
students
are
like
I
really
have
no
idea
what
I
want
to
study
in
in
in
college
or
I,
don't
know
a
particular
career
that
I'm
suited
for
sometimes
we
will
work
with
them
to
try
to
take
one
of
these
and
have
them
come
back
and
then
maybe
have
a
conversation
along
those
lines.
But
I
think
this
is
really
just
investigative.
It's
itself
self-discovery
for
a
student.
A
Not
all
of
your
children
want
to
do
this
and
I
think
you
know
that
better
than
I
do
some
are
more
open
to
it
and
I
think
what
is
good
is
that
when
they
do
take
it,
they
realize
that
it's
pretty
spot
on.
You
never
take
some
of
those
like
surveys
and
you're
like
wow.
That
is
me
to
a
T
I
think
these
are
are
pretty
good
students
really,
like
you
know
when
they
do
take
one.
They
think
that
it's
pretty
accurate,
so
this
might
be
a
place
to
start
the
questions
about
these.
A
B
C
C
A
Just
took
it
in
actually
all
of
our
current
ninth
graders
took
it
in
eighth
grade.
Our
10th
graders
took
it
in
eighth
grade
and
then
our
11th
and
12th
graders
did
it
in
in
ninth
grade.
So
this
year,
Miss
hot
and
I.
In
September
we
went
into
the
mentor
classes.
We
had
students
log
into
Naviance.
We
had
them,
pull
up
their
assessment
from
last
year
and
read
through
it.
K
A
It's
significant:
it's
not
just
like
a
little
quick
little
thing
and
it
really
goes
into
like
I
said
things
like
blind
spots,
things
that
you
need
to
be
just
self-aware
of
just
some
things
that
you're
not
that
are
not
as
well
developed
for
you
yet
and
really
identifies
that.
But
it
also
identifies
things
that
you
know
really
come
naturally
to
you
and
things
that
you
can
really
capitalize
on.
A
F
H
A
You
don't
you
don't
need
to
know
what
you
don't
need
to
declare
a
major
you
can
apply
as
undecided
or
something
along
those
lines
where
I
think
it's
helpful
for
a
student
to
start
having
an
idea
about
that
is
if
the
counselor
can
be
working
with
the
student
and
recommending
colleges
that
might
support
their
future
interests,
then
I
think
it's
important
for
a
student
to
kind
of
know.
For
example,
not
all
colleges
and
universities
have
a
School
of
Engineering
and
not
all
colleges
and
universities
have
a
business
school.
A
So
the
student
is
leaning
in
that
direction.
It
kind
of
has
some
ideas
they
want
to
go
like
in
that
direction
or
a
school
of
nursing.
Then
the
counselor
can
be
like
listen.
You
know
you
might
want
to
look
at
these
schools
because
they
have
that,
but
also,
if
you
change
your
mind,
it's
also
a
really
good
school.
So
that's
where
I
think
it's
really
helpful.
F
So
I'm
gonna
just
add
one
thing
to
the
majors
yeah.
Also
some
schools
and
programs
are
direct
admit
and
they
could
be
closed
Majors.
So
if
it's
something
that
you're
interested
in
yeah
they
or
may
not
be
able
to
change
our
mind
after
the
fact,
it
might
be
harder
to
change.
Your
major
I
feel
like
when
we
went
to
this
Syracuse
right
or
I
could
be
wrong,
but
anyway
we
went
to
visit
one
school
and
someone
asked
you
know
how
easy
is
it
to
change
a
major
and
they
said
it's
actually
pretty
hard.
Pretty.
A
A
A
I
think
I
think
we
need
to
tackle
that
in
you
know
a
bunch
of
different
ways,
but
I
business
is
one
of
those
programs
where
it's
not
necessarily
easy
to
switch
into
the
program.
So
for
some
you
definitely
have
to
do
direct
admit
and
see
if
you
get
in
and
then
for
other
schools,
you
could,
but
that's
like
that's
a
question.
A
That's
why
it's
so
important
to
go
and
visit
colleges
because
to
ask
those
kind
of
questions
is
really
important
and
then,
once
you
see
all
these
colleges
that
have
a
better
sense
of
that,
then
we
can
work
on
a
case-by-case
basis
through
each
college
and
say:
okay,
this
college.
We
have
to
apply
direct
admit
this
college.
You
can,
you
might
be
able
to
get
in
your
sophomore
year
with
a
3.9
GPA.
So
this
one,
maybe
it's
better
for
us
to
just
have
you
get
into
the
college
during
like
you.
A
F
A
K
A
It'll
be
fun,
there's
there's
so
much
here.
Basically,
you
can
do
like
Advanced,
College
searches,
like
you
could
say,
I
want
I
want
schools
in
the
Northeast
with
less
than
5
000
students
that
has
Linguistics
as
a
major
fine
I'm
gonna
give
you
a
whole
list.
Okay,
so
you
can
really
be
very
granular
in
this.
You
can
also
do
very
you
know
open-ended,
but
there's
a
lot
of
search
options
here.
There's
a
college
match
option
which
actually,
once
a
student
has
sat,
act
or
pset
scores
and
a
GPA
in
here
it.
A
K
A
G
K
A
It
that's
that's
why
the
scattergram
I
think
is
the
best
way
to
go,
because
basically,
what
it's
saying
is
this
for
this
school:
this
is
what
a
Byram
Hills
GPA
will
get
you.
This
is
what
a
Byram
Health
student,
how
they
can
do
at
a
particular
College,
because
if
you
use
the
National
Data
right,
how
do
you
break
down
r46
to
you
know
be
in
comparison
with
another
school's
4.0
and
everything
else.
So.
C
K
A
L
A
F
K
K
A
A
A
B
E
E
L
E
D
A
A
It's
more
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
so,
for
example,
when
your
child
is
meeting
with
their
counselor
and
they've
formalized
their
list
of
colleges
that
they're
going
to
apply
to
probably
the
counselor
is
going
to
go
Case
by
case
through
every
single
school
and
say
with
this
one.
I
actually
think
you
should
submit
your
act
or
SAT
scores,
because
you're
falling
within
a
range
where
they're
typically
accepted
this
is
a
school
where,
let's
maybe
go
testosterone,
that's
probably
your
best
bet.
A
B
K
A
If
you
don't,
if
you
choose
the
option
that
says
I'm
going
to
send
you
my
SAT
and
ACT
scores,
if
I
want
them,
then
we
can
pick
and
choose
what
colleges
receive,
because
even
if
you
select
test
optional
for
a
particular
college
but
you've
listed
it
on
your
common
application,
they're
still
going
to
see
it.
You
know-
and
you
can't
kind
of
retract,
that
these
are
all
the
things
you
know
to
be
talking
through
with
your
counselor.
A
There's,
definitely
ways
that
I
think
our
students
can
maximize
their
opportunities
at
particular
schools,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
do
know
is
that
our
students
who
do
submit
scores
okay,
do
slightly
better
than
our
students
who
don't,
however,
I
think
our
students,
given
the
rigor
of
the
courses
that
they
are
in
at
Byram
Hills.
If
they
have
a
really
good
GPA
and
their
sat
or
ACT
scores,
are
not
necessarily
aligned.
L
B
C
K
C
A
Colleges
might
break
it
down,
colleges
might
say
we
don't
care
about
your
electives,
we
don't
care
about
health,
we
don't
care
about
it,
we're
just
going
to
take
your
your
five
core
courses
and
they
might
reconfigure
your
GPA.
But
we
report
everything
with
the
exception
of
we
report
everything,
but
the
GPA
does
not
include
PE.
A
A
They
need
to
show
that
that,
because
Byram
Health
has
a
lot
of
rigor,
if
you
have
not
dipped
your
toe
into
some
sort
of
rigor
in
some
aspect
of
your
chat
of
your
schedule,
I
think
we
need
to
do
that.
Does
it
have
to
be
in
every
single
subject?
No
another
thing
is:
if
you're
getting
you
know,
maybe
a
d
or
a
c
plus
in
a
class,
maybe
we
would
say-
and
there
is
a
like
a
lower
level-
maybe
that's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
say:
listen.
A
The
rigor
isn't
as
important
here
as
it
is
for
you
to
do
really
well
in
a
class,
because
we
don't
want
your
overall
GPA
affected.
So
I
think
it's
really
not
a
case-by-case
basis
and
it's
a
discussion
about
what
is
right
for
your
child,
but
I
think
where,
if
your
child
is
looking
at
the
most
competitive
colleges
and
universities,
they
certainly
need
to
be
in
some
of
the
most
original
sources.
That.
F
So
when
the
kids
go
in
and
they're
making
their
lists
of
the
schools
they're
planning
to
apply
to
they
get
notifications
at
the
top.
You
know
Central
University
wants
to
connect
with
you.
Yes,
now
it's
not
going
to
clog
up
their
school
email
like
what
does
that
mean
exactly
because,
like
when
you
register
for
a
tour
or
whatever
you
get
100
emails
anyway,.
C
A
I
think
that
the
what
you
talked
about
connecting
to
Naviance
is
for
students
who
maybe
don't
get
to
go
to
colleges
and
universities
to
tour,
and
this
might
be
really
the
only
way
that
they're
having
conversations
with
colleges
and
universities.
It's
not
so
super
important
for
a
student
to
allow
that
or
connect
with
them,
and
if
they
say
no
I
don't
want
to
it's
not
like
they're.
You
know
it's
not
bad,
it's
just
that.
A
A
We
want
to
give
a
student
who's
choosing
to
challenge
themselves,
some
time
to
figure
that
out
and
that
doesn't
always
get
teased
out
in
the
first
few
weeks
of
school
and
dropping
a
level
as
you
do
know,
if
it
is,
if
it
is
within
those
windows
and
not
after
those
windows,
it
doesn't
carry
over
with
the
student.
So
in
other
words,
it's
not
seen
on
the
transcript
that
a
student
started
in
one
level
and
had
to
switch
to
another.
A
It's
only
if
we
go
past
that
that's
why
it's
really
important
to
be
in
touch
with
your
child's
teacher
for
your
child
to
be
in
touch
with
their
teacher.
How
am
I
doing
you
know?
Are
you
you
seeing
signs
that
I'm
going
to
be
successful
in
this
class?
What
do
I
need
to
do
involving
a
counselor
in
those
discussions
where
they
can
be
seeking
that
feedback
as
much
as
possible.
H
A
It's
not
like
there's
just
like
the
right
size
at
the
right
time,
yeah
I,
think
more
even
more
so
than
that
is
that
students
they
get
very
attached
to
their
schedule.
They
start
to
really
get
into
a
Groove.
It's
predictable.
They
know
what
they
they
know
that
they
like
it
and
they
know
they
feel
comfortable
in
their
classes
and
when
you
tell
them
listen
I
can
make
that
change.
But
now
I'm
going
to
affect
science
and
math.
A
A
I'll,
stick
it
out,
I
want
to
stay,
and
you
can
understand
that.
So
we
really
try
to
not
have
those
conversations
or
have
those
discussions
last.
You
know
you
know
into
the
fall.
We
tried
to
make
sure
if
a
student
is
in
place
correctly,
that
that's
kind
of
we
figured
that
out
earlier,
rather
than
later.
A
So
you
know
I,
think
kind
of
what
you're
referring
to
is
the
students
GPA
that
they
apply
to
college
is
determined
after
their
junior
year,
so
we
don't
recalculate
a
GPA
after
the
first
quarter
after
the
second
quarter
of
senior
year.
So,
for
example,
if
a
student
maybe
is
struggling
and
with
our
courses
and
Senior
year,
that
will
be
seen
by
a
college
because
we
might
have
to
send
their
first
quarter
report
card
or
their
mid-year
grades,
but
the
GPA
is
not
going
to
change.
A
So
that's
just
something
to
consider
so
the
final
GPA
is
then
calculated
at
the
end
of
their
senior
year,
and
then
we
send
that
off
to
college.
That
is
the
one
college
that
the
student
is
attending.
It
could
be,
we've
had
situations
where
students
dropped
significantly
and
the
colleges
have
reached
out
to
the
student
and
have
said
these.
A
We've
certainly
have
that
we
have
had
the
rare
case
where
a
college
will
rescind
their
decision
and
that's
not
a
place
that
your
child
ever
wants
to
be
in
and
believe
me.
We
are
having
conversations
with
our
seniors,
who
we
know
are
falling
into
that
category
and
we're
really
working
with
them
and
trying
to
get
out
ahead
of
that.
But
senior
year
is
important.
Those
grades
are
seen
But.
The
GPA
doesn't
change
for
a
student
in
for
college
purposes
in
their
senior
year.
H
A
Colleges
will
say
your
whole
transcript
is
taken
into
consideration.
I
would
say
where
it's
a
benefit
is
that
if
your
students
started
off
a
little
bit
Rocky,
they
just
really
want
to
see
Improvement
and
not
the
other
way.
So
that's
an
opportunity
for
your
child
to
show
growth
so
that
they've
learned
about
themselves
and
everything
else,
but
certainly
it's
more.
The
progression
of
the
student
or
what?
What?
What
courses
did
your
child
end
up
taking
over
the
course
of
high
school.
C
C
E
Because
the
junior
class
is
really
affected
by
covet
because
they
were
freshmen
coming
in.
So
how
do
you
think
that's
going
to
play
when
now
they're,
looking
at
like
if
you're
picking
you
know,
freshman
sophomore
and
junior
year
on
freshman
year,
especially
first
semester?
First
quarter
wasn't
great
because
it
was
covered
in
the
wrong
yeah.
A
A
I
think
one
thing
that
has
come
out
of
the
pandemic
is
that
colleges
are
realizing
that
they
need
to
rely
on
other
things
outside
of
the
transcript
to
make
a
decision
about
who
is
going
to
be
successful
at
their
child's.
You
know,
at
their
institution
and
they're
looking
at
matters
of
recommendation
a
bit
more
than
they
had
in
the
past
The
Counselor
recommendation.
What
is
the
student
writing
about
in
their
essays
they're
they're
extracurriculars?
It
doesn't
have
to
be
be
really
involved,
but
what
did
a
child
make?
A
An
effort
to
do?
Was
the
child
resourceful
in
a
year
when
there
really
wasn't
much
open
and
available
for
them?
Did
they
take
some
sort
of
initiative
to
do
something
different,
so
I
think
that's
that's
how
they're
kind
of
compensating
for
maybe
a
lack
of
skill
growth
whatever
and
that
was
affected
by.
G
A
Yeah
and
some
of
this
information
just
trying
to
think
of
where
it
might
be
like
a
little
confusing,
is
sometimes
a
student
who's
applied
early
decision
somewhere
and
then
they
withdrew
their
application
is
represented
on
here
and
it
might
at
times
be
represented
as
a
deny,
but
it
really
wasn't
it
was
that
there
was
a
withdraw
of
the
application.
So
this
is
something
that
a
scattergram,
if
you're
sitting
home
alone
at
night,
looking.
C
B
A
Reference
but
then
to
be
sitting
in
your
child's
in
their
counselor's
office
with
them
for
a
meeting
and
going
through
this
together,
because
it's
that
Nuance,
it's
that
that
other
information
that
we
can
add
to
this,
that
I
think
will
give
you
as
parents
a
more
informed
representation
or
more
informed.
You
know
information
about
a
particular
College.
D
A
A
It's
not
really
the
way
it
works,
but
I
think
what
it
is,
and
it's
why
we
place
such
a
high
priority
is
that
every
single
one
of
these
colleges
and
universities
that
comes
to
see
us
a
counselor
physically,
sits
with
them
for
the
entirety
of
the
meeting
and
they
usually
start
off
with
talking
to
the
admissions
counselor
about
what's
new
at
Byron
Hills,
we
certainly
have
been
talking
about
our
entrepreneurship
program
startup.
We
want
them
to
know
about
that.
A
We
want
them
to
know
about
any
changes,
Maybe
how
we
handled
covid
and
what
they
could
expect
to
see
on
a
transcript
so
that
each
College
understands
Byram
health
and
they
understand
when
they're
looking
at
a
transcript,
what
it
is
that
they're
seeing,
and
so
that's
where
I
think
that
that
is
really
important.
We
also
have
an
opportunity
in
this
district
is
absolutely
amazing
for
granting
this
and
making
this
a
priority.
A
Is
that
every
one
of
our
College,
our
counselors,
goes
out
and
visits
colleges
for
about
five
days
in
a
school
year,
so
they
are
physically
on
the
college
campuses
talking
with
the
representatives.
They
are
seeing
the
students
who
go
there
and
really
what
that
translates
to
you
know,
for
you
is
when
your
child
is
looking
it's
you
know
a
counselor
is
able
to
say
yes,
I
can
see
where
this
would
be
a
great
school
for
you,
I
think
you'd
really
fit
in
there.
A
There
are
a
lot
of
students,
like
you,
I
think
you
might
really
like
this,
and
to
have
that
to
you
know,
to
go
off
of
in
the
college
process
is,
is
amazing
because
most
most
high
school
counselors
are
not
able
to
see
as
many
schools
as
this
District
makes
it
a
priority
for
our
counselors
to
say,
and
hopefully
I
don't
know.
If
any
of
you
read
the
advisor,
but
when
I
do
a
featured
College
this
year,
I'm
doing
featured
College
only
colleges
that
our
counselors
have
been
to
and
they
kind
of
made
their
own
infographic.
A
C
A
Your
senior
year,
it's
the
summer,
you're
starting.
If
you
wanted
to
get
started
on
your
common
application,
you
can
start
that
on
August
1st
on
August,
1st
I
will
send
out
a
tutorial
on
how
to
start
your
common
application
and
then
in
September
we
start
what's
called
application.
Clinic
an
application
Clinic
runs
two
to
three
times
a
week
during
lunch,
and
it
is
a
place
where
a
student
can
go
and
have
their
specific
questions
kind
of
like
if
they're,
not
specific,
they're
more
like
how
do
I
fill
out
this
portion.
A
E
B
G
A
I
A
It
feels
like
I
know
if
Houston's
a
few
of
you
had
questions
about
your
students
that
I
could
maybe
answer
on
a
more
personal
one
to
one
and
I'm
happy
to
stay
and
do
that.
But
if
they're,
oh
I
just
didn't
want
to
mention
this,
just
to
close
it
out,
we
have
on
March
7th,
which
is
our
last
guidance
discussion
group.
A
We
have
someone
from
Landmark
College,
which
is
known
for
helping
students
get
through
college
those
students
who
have
a
learning
disability
who
might
be
on
the
autism
spectrum
and
really
more
special
needs,
and
they
unfortunately
didn't
have
a
lot
of
time
that
they
could
come
to
speak,
but
they
could
come
for
the
guidance
Discussion
Group
in
March.
So
that
is
going
to
be
the
focus
of
our
of
our
next
discussion.
Group
I
will
send
out
information,
I
think
it
would
be
invaluable.
Certainly
it
will
be
recorded
if
anybody
can't
make
it,
but.
