2 Lexington High School Counseling Department Senior Seminar Planning for Graduation and Beyond: A Step by Step Process Last spring most of you participated in the junior counseling seminar program to enable you to systematically approach your post graduation planning. This fall's program will continue to provide you with the information and skills necessary to make appropriate decisions based on your own goals, expectations and needs. Outlined below are the overall topics that will be discussed at each session. However, if you have any concerns or questions that you feel need clarification, please speak with your counselor. Once these group sessions wrap up, you should make appointments with your counselor to further discuss and address your individual post graduation planning issues.

8 Comparing the SAT to the ACT The new SAT will be a significant change from the current test. Below is a broad comparison of the new SAT and the ACT, courtesy of Summit Educational Group. New SAT (Spring 2016) ACT Description The new SAT will require similar skills and test similar content to that of the ACT and current SAT. Many of the changes to the new SAT s format will make it look a lot like the ACT, but the SAT will retain its focus as an aptitude test. Among the biggest changes to the SAT are a sharper focus on critical thinking, an emphasis on real world problems, a new scoring system, and an overhaul of the essay section. Overall, the redesigned SAT will place a bigger emphasis on problem solving and understanding context. Comparatively, the ACT will remain more of an achievement test, requiring a broad knowledge of many concepts, as well as considerable speed and endurance. Format & Length 5 long sections (comprising 3 tests and an optional essay): Writing & Language; Reading; 2 Math; Essay Questions have 4 answer choices Total testing time: 3 hours, 50 minutes (with essay) 5 long sections (comprising 4 tests and an optional essay): English; Mathematics; Reading; Science; Writing (optional essay) Most questions have 4 answer choices (Math has 5) Total testing time: 3 hours, 25 minutes (with essay) Scoring Combined score: Evidence Based Reading and Writing: ; Math: Essay score reported separately Cross Test Scores report performance on Science and History/ Social Studies across entire test No deduction for incorrect answers Writing/ English Revise and edit a piece of writing for, logical structure, and effective rhetoric standard English grammar and usage punctuation logical structure effective rhetoric includes informational graphics Composite score: 1 36 (average of 4 tests) English: 1 36; Math: 1 36; Reading: 1 36; Science: 1 36 Writing score not factored into Composite score Combined Writing score provided separately: 2 12 No deduction for incorrect answers Revise and edit a piece of writing for, logical structure, and effective rhetoric standard English grammar and usage punctuation logical structure effective rhetoric commonly confused words Math Reading Science Essay Pre Algebra through basic Trigonometry strong emphasis on Algebra Calculator prohibited on one section 12 Grid In questions (no answer choices) 1 Extended Thinking question (4 points) Vocabulary de emphasized 4 long passages and 1 paired passage 2 passages include diagrams/charts 1 passage from U.S. founding document The new SAT does not have stand alone Science section, but Science questions will be included throughout the Math, Reading, and Writing & Language tests. 50 minutes, always the last section analyze a passage and evaluate author s reasoning and rhetoric students opinions discouraged Essay is scored on 2 8 scale on three traits (Reading, Analysis, and Writing ) Pre Algebra through basic Trigonometry math tested in straightforward manner extensive range of concepts tested emphasis on word problems formulas not provided 4 long passages very little emphasis on vocabulary straightforward questions that require close reading of passage order of questions is random less time per question 40 questions distributed over 7 passages emphasis on charts, diagrams, etc. Science is a reasoning test rarely requires prior science knowledge 30 minutes, always the last test narrow topic relevant to high school students demands a more structured response optional, but required by most schools
9 The Coalition for Access, Affordability and Success Application The Coalition's streamlined platform aims to recast the college admission process from a potentially stressful, single year transaction, to a more progressive and developmental, four year collection of high school experiences and accomplishments. The tools are designed to align with pre existing administrative processes, ensuring that students and their academic goals come first without creating extra work for you or them. Coalition members believe that students should be empowered at every step in the application process including when they choose which application best suits their needs. Some Coalition members will exclusively use the Coalition App, while many other Coalition members will accept applications from a number of sources. Admissions offices do not provide preferential treatment to applicants based on which of their approved technological platforms they decide to use to create and submit their application. Coalition Exclusive Colleges While most Coalition member colleges will still utilize the Common Application or their own application platform in addition to the Coalition application, a few colleges have stated they will be Coalition exclusive, meaning they will only utilize the Coalition application for admissions. Colleges accepting only the Coalition application are: 1. University of Florida The Lexington High School Counseling Department is recommending that students applying to college continue to utilize the Common Application or the specific institution application at this time, unless you are applying to one of the coalition exclusive college. If so, please see your counselor for more information.
10 COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS WHO SENDS WHAT?
11 COLLEGE APPLICATION PROCESS STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
12 Tips to Developing a Strong College Essay 1. View it as an opportunity. The essay is one of the few things that you have complete control over in the application process, especially by the time you are in your senior year. You've already earned most of your grades; you've already made most of your impressions on teachers; and chances are, you've already found a set of activities you're interested in continuing. So when you write the essay, view it as something more than just a page to fill up with writing. View it as a chance to tell the admissions committee about who you are as a person. Students have been known to WRITE THEMSELVES INTO AN ACCEPTANCE 2. Make it authentic and be yourself. If you are funny, write a funny essay; if you are serious, write a serious essay. Don't start reinventing yourself with the essay. When the reader has finished your essay they should feel as if they just had a conversation with you. 3. Take the time to go beyond the obvious. Tell admissions something different from what they will read on your list of extracurricular activities. You may choose to share an experience expanding upon one of the activities listed. Pick a topic that is central to your identity. 4. Write thoughtfully and from your heart. It'll be clear who believes in what they are saying versus those who are simply saying what they think we want to hear. Colleges want to get to know you, how you think, what is important to you, how you choose to spend your time. Be sure your essay is YOU centered. This is a challenging task because you are rarely asked to write about yourself but they are considering admitting you to their college so be sure that is the focus of the essay. 5. Do not provide a history report. Some background knowledge is okay, but do not draw out a long story of a particular experience. They are more interested in how you responded, what you learned and/or how you grew from the experience than the details of the experience itself. 6. Keep it short and to the point. Narrowly focused essays are typically the strongest. 7. Limit the number of people from whom you request feedback on your essay. Too much input creates an essay that sounds as though it has been written by a committee or results in writing that is absent your own voice. You are the final editor; you do not have to agree with everyone s critique of your work. 8. Appearances count. Formatting and presentation cannot replace substance, but they can certainly enhance the value of an already well written essay. To that end, proofread, proofread, proofread. Nothing says "last minute essay" like an "are" instead of "our" or a "their" instead of "they're." 9. Show, don t tell. Provide evidence using sensory details and imagery of the 2 3 qualities you would like to highlight. If you create a narrative and provide evidence (show) then you won t have to actually list the qualities (tell). For example, I am leader is TELLING. Rather, to SHOW that you are a leader, you could say, Someone at the class meeting needed to say something and before I knew what I was doing, I was standing at the microphone while my class sat and stared. 10. Write the first sentence last. Crafting the first sentence can take time because you want to hook the reader in from the start. It is easy for students to get stuck here. The best thing to do is just start writing. There should be many drafts of your essay so to begin just write. You cannot write your final draft first. As you write you may discover your essay really starts in the middle of the third paragraph, and you end up cutting the preliminaries or you rearrange the paragraphs. Once completed, read your first sentence. Is it a hook? 11. Leave the reader with a strong image. Your conclusion should add to your essay and to your qualities as an applicant, not merely rehash what has already been said. 12. Read your essay aloud. Many times I will read a student s essay to him/her. They quickly find their mistakes or lack of flow. This is a quick tip you can do yourself.

14 Loan Default Rate (Percent of borrowers entering repayment and defaulting on their loan) This institution. % National % Repaying your loans To learn about loan repayment choices and work out your Federal Loan monthly payment, go to: Glossary Cost of Attendance (COA) : The total amount (not including grants and scholarships) that it will cost you to go to school during the school year. COA includes tuition and fees; housing and meals; and allowance for books, supplies, transportation, loan fees, and dependent care. It also includes miscellaneous and personal expenses, such as an allowance for the rental or purchase of a personal computer; costs related to a disability; and reasonable costs for eligible study abroad programs. For students attending less than half time, the COA includes tuition and fees; an allowance for books, supplies, and transportation; and dependent care expenses. Total Grants and Scholarships : Student aid funds that do not have to be repaid. Grants are often need based, while scholarships are usually merit based. Occasionally you might have to pay back part or all of a grant if, for example, you withdraw from school before finishing a semester. Net Costs : An estimate of the actual costs that you or your family will need to pay during the school year to cover education expenses at a particular school. Net costs are determined by taking the institution s cost of attendance and subtracting your grants and scholarships. Work Study : A federal student aid program that provides part time employment while you are enrolled in school to help you pay your education expenses. Loans : Borrowed money that must be repaid with interest. Loans from the federal government typically have a lower interest rate than loans from private lenders. Federal loans, listed from most advantageous to least advantageous, are called Federal Perkins Loans, Direct Subsidized Loans, Direct Unsubsidized Loans, and Direct PLUS Loans. You can find more information about federal loans at StudentAid.gov. Family Contribution (also referred to as Expected Family Contribution) : A number used by a school to calculate how much financial aid you are eligible to receive, if any. It s based on the financial information you provided in your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It s not the amount of money your family will have to pay for college, nor is it the amount of federal student aid you will receive. The family contribution is reported to you on your Student Aid Report, also known as the SAR. Loan Default Rate : The percentage of student borrowers undergraduate and graduate who have failed to repay their federal loans within three years of leaving a particular school. A low loan default rate could mean that the institution s students are earning enough income after leaving school to successfully repay their loans.
15 FAFSA: Websites: Financial Aid and Scholarships Financial Aid: Excellent home page of links to many financial aid related sites. The EFC (confidential self test to estimate your eligibility for financial aid) is a highlight, but there are many other helpful resources, such as a calculator for loan repayment. Financial Aid: A lot of information, including auto s that alert you to new scholarship opportunities. Scholarship Search: search CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE: financial aid profile Federal Student Aid: Comprehensive financial aid site focusing on federal aid, such as grants/scholarships, loans, and work study. Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority (MEFA): **College websites must now, by law, post a Net Price calculator to help families estimate their particular price for attending the college. Though you will find it helpful, do not depend on this preliminary tool to give you an exact price. Dates and deadlines: The FAFSA and CSS PROFILE can be accessed starting October 1. The CSS PROFILE should be completed at least 3 to 4 weeks before your earliest financial aid deadline, for Early Decision applicants, in October of senior year, using estimated numbers. Financial aid deadlines and forms are as important or more so than application deadlines, and they vary widely from college to college. Read your materials carefully, and meet your deadlines!
