MANY CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOLS LOSE COLLEGE COUNSELORS IN FALL 2010

In Fall, 2010, students applying to college or preparing for college will find that many of their schools are without the assistance of college counselors to assist them through the process.

The College Admissions Consultant is offering their services at no cost to Santa Monica High School, and other schools in the Los Angeles vacinity to help out with the shortage of help.

Students should look to "THE APPLICA-PHOBIA OF COLLEGE ADMISSIONS" as a resource to help them through the process. If students feel the need to get more one on one counseling, please contact The College Admissions Consultant for Independent Assistance, as we help students reach their goals.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ATHELETIC RECRUITING

In every high school there are different types of athletes -----the ones who do it for fun, the serious who work hard at their sport, and then the naturally gifted.
Student can make their way onto a team somewhere in their college experience. However, for the serious or naturally gifted athlete, being aware of and watching out for the scouts from all the colleges and universities across the country is important. Coaches from all the top tier schools send their scouts out nationwide to all schools in the country to evaluate players each season, and commence with having students sign a “Notice of Intent” to attend a school as early as the junior year in high school.
If you are a serious or top-level high school athlete and considering being
recruited, there are a number of things you need to do starting in your junior
year.


1) Put together a full presentation that outlines your stats with all the
particulars (your height, weight, athletic awards, level of
competition), your GPA, test scores and any other
academic distinctions.

2) Sign up on the NCAA website so you are
official.

3) Identify the names and address of college
coaches at the schools which are of interest to you – they are
high level in your sport, etc.

4) Contact each coach with a letter and a resume so they know you are
interested.

5) Provide coaches with a complete package of information to allow them see you are going to be strong candidate to pursue as an official recruit.

6) Keep Positive!

TWO NEW SITES TO SHARE WITH STUDENTS ON FINANCIAL AID

As always, parents and students alike sweat bullets about applying for or renewing financial aid with the schools. A friend of mine has just turned up two new sites that she wants to share with students across America.

It is very important as you start your application process to start the financial aid process as well, and it is "imperative" to not procrastinate with getting all the paperwork in.

However, if you have not filed for financial aid as of yet, you are not doomed yet.
The deadline is till June 30, 2010. REMEMBER, when it comes to financial aid, those who get their paperwork in early are the ones who wreak the rewards.

Here are the links to both filing early and also completing the renewal process. The first comes from the Student Loan Network. The second is from the U.S. Dept. of ED's Funding Education publications - CHECK THEM OUT!
