At
MyCollegeCalendar.org, we are acutely
aware of the pivotal role you play in a student’s
life. And we know the challenges you face
in reaching and spending time with each student,
given your limited “bandwidth”.
That is why we are so pleased to compliment
your efforts with our extensive online system.
We sincerely believe that if our information
finds its way to your kids, your job will
be easier, more efficient, and more effective.
Specifically, here’s what the MyCollegeCalendar.org
admission guide and calendar can do for your
world. |
- Focus
your energy… like a laser:
- On more difficult steps: MyCollegeCalendar.org
answers all routine student questions, allows for student
and parent self-education, thereby increasing available
time for you to guide and mentor college-bound students
through the more complex college admission steps.
- On the high-priority
tasks: MyCollegeCalendar.org
enables you and fellow educators to concentrate on
the all-important tasks of completing student recommendation
forms and editing application essays.
- Utilize
a great educational tool: The
existence of our system enables you to “off-load” and
direct college-bound students to a universal
schedule available to students and their
parents and guardians anytime they need it
(even when you are not available) 24/7.
- For
Freshman to Seniors:
We have created individual programs designed
for Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior
high school students. Freshman and Sophomore
years get a jump on planning ahead with advanced
class scheduling and extracurricular activities,
while Junior year students prepare for, plan
and ensure that their Senior year of high
school is on target with recommended classes,
college-prep testing, and extracurricular
activities required for admissions while
Senior year students focus on college majors,
school selection, the application process
and financial aid.
- Bring
more serenity to a stressful year: By
providing content-rich information
in a slick online format (that spreads
tasks over a one or two-year period),
MyCollegeCalendar.org provides the
means to achieve a more calm, enjoyable
and successful academic year for everyone.
- Additional
guidance: Additional
guidance means achieving a higher level
of success for you and your students. MyCollegeCalendar.org
can assist you with effective college
admissions guidance which can increase
your success as a counselor and advisor. And
together, we will help more students
gain the guidance they need, apply to
optimal colleges and universities, and
navigate though this very critical time
in their lives.
