Post-Secondary Counseling

Hi Seniors and parents!

Mid Year Transcripts: We have sent your mid-year transcripts to all colleges you have applied to (except for your colleges that have denials). So no need to contact your counselor unless you receive notification from your school that they are still missing your mid-year transcript.

Still Submitting applications?: You may/will want to update your Common Application to reflect the courses you are taking this semester and/or change the courses/grades section if your new applications require this section. Please see your counselor if you have any questions.

Committing to your college: Please know that you have until May 1 (which is National Decision Day) to commit to your college and put down your initial deposit. This deposit is typically non-refundable, so before you commit, you should know what your financial aid package is and what you will be expected to pay!

Local Scholarships: We encourage every senior to apply for our local scholarships program. You can find out all the information on the scholarships here, and on the Class of 2026 webpage.

Also - -for those of you who applied to a University of California campus and received a plagiarism notice – please read below:

Personal Insight Question (PIQ) plagiarism check

All personal insight responses were reviewed by an anti-plagiarism software program in early January. Notifications are sent out throughout the month via email to students whose responses require verification of their authenticity. Applicants who are unable to provide evidence that the PIQs are their own work or who do not respond by tomorrow’s January 21 deadline will have their UC applications withdrawn. If an applicant has submitted an appeal, they will receive a final decision regarding their cancellation in early February.
