College Admissions: A Survey

7/14/2016

​This July, we have partnered with Sarah Phocas, Shyamla Menon,  and Hayley Kleyman from Jackson Hole Tutoring & College Counseling to host a "College Admissions Workshop" once per week for middle and high school students.

We feel very fortunate to work with such an extraordinary group of women. They have even been kind enough to share some of their resources with us. Below is a survey you may give your child or student to help them determine where they would like to apply to college. 


​College Survey:


Would you like to stay close to home?  Go far away?  Somewhere between?



Do you want to be able to drive home?  Do you want to be near family?



Is there a particular region or state in which you want to attend college?



Urban (city)  vs. Suburban (within 25 miles of a big city)  vs. Rural (Jackson!)?



Large (>10,000), Medium (10,000 - 4,000) or Small School (>4,000)?



College (eg. liberal arts) vs. University (research focused)?



Are you interested in a school that has a religious focus?



Area of concentration (eg. technical school, fine arts, specific major)?



What types of activities would you like the school to offer?



Do you want a school with big name sports?



Do you want single sex or coeducational?

Looking for some tips to give your student or child as they delve into the editing process? Take a look at our suggestions below!

Editing Tips:
  • Read your first draft.
  • Make sure that you have punctuation in the right place.
  • Are all of your sentences complete?
  • Are some sentences short and some long?
  • Look for parts that could be better.
  • Did you use the right words? (No or Know? Won or One?)
  • Did you use interesting words? (Slam, giggle, squishy)
  • Make your changes, then have someone else read it to see if they understand it.

Proof Reading Tips:
  • Read your writing aloud. Then you can listen for errors.
  • Touch each word with your pencil. This will help you check for spelling.
  • Find a helper. Have your teacher or someone else check your writing, too.
