Covid_19 has disrupted the college admission process, but we will not let it derail high school students’ dreams.

If you have an interest in college admission…listen. Right now listen. #collegeadmission #listen
We could not agree more. We do not ask for reviews…so fun to see this post this evening. Theresa Cry’s calling is to help students define their ideal path and walk it…step by step of the process from 9th or 12th or anywhere along the way. 💯
I love love love listening to our office hum. Behind that door, two Root college advisors are talking to a student’s family about how to best reach their dreams. A parent has lots of questions. They are nervous about how to best set up a pathway of “success.” But what does that mean? They are getting into it. Prepared for what profession? How can employment be guaranteed? Why so far away? How much is that university? Is that a likely admit? What is the timeline? Love all the questions. Also loved as one of my kiddos left today that I heard a slight banging of our gong. She is excited to submit and celebrate w a gong slam ha ha. She actually gave us the biggest compliment of the week. I joked that she gets to come back next week does not “have” to. She quickly replied “I love coming here actually. It’s relaxing. It’s like a nature preserve.” She had me at “relaxing” 🙃. It’s all the feelings in this office. And we love it.
Love getting to the office first. Not quite sure why. Just feels like a good start. But being first does not automatically equal being the best. No need to rush those college apps out just because they went live on Monday. Steady work creates excellence. Compulsively rushed college app completion often results in regret after the submit button is pressed. Relax. Consider. Review. Let it sit. Review again. Then submit when it advantages you the most. (Depends on the college.) Looking forward to lots of fun meetings today!
AP scores are now available. For context go to @rootcollegeadvising stories and/or jump on twitter @totalreg *Students—please do NOT officially send your AP score(s) as part of the application process. It is a waste of money. Self report unless college requires otherwise. And only report if you think the score reflects your abilities 🙃. Your score. Your process. 💯.
@uscadmission has added Early Action as an application option. Please see their website for more details.
open door office days are the best. #breezysun #naturesdoor
