COLLEGE 101
Applying to college can be a tricky process. To help you and your family out with this journey, I have created a video presentation to help navigate the college process and hopefully provide you with some insight on how to get started.
Everything you need to know as a high school senior who is applying to college. Please watch the video (which was sent out during the end of your junior year, but has all the pertinent info for college application).
