4. ATTENTION ALL SENIORS & JUNIORS: College admissions counselors
have been making plans to visit you here at Bainbridge High School and in the
Seattle area. The list is not quite
ready for prime-time, but as soon as it is ready, you will find it on the front
page of the BHS main website (hopefully by the end of the day on this
Friday). It will also be posted right
outside the Counseling Office in the hallway.
We will update it every Friday, so you should check it carefully from
top to bottom to see if the college or university you are particularly
interested will be on this side or the other side of the Puget Sound.
Representatives
from the colleges DO pay attention to the people who meet with them. It is a terrific opportunity to get your face
and name front and center, prior to submitting your application! These are the people who are likely to read
the application first!
We do have a few
rules about the visits which are only open to juniors and seniors:
1).
Students must sign up on the clipboard in the Counseling Office by
the day before the session to be able to attend the session, unless the
session occurs during your open, study hall or lunch.
2).
Students must notify the teacher before signing up, asking
PERMISSION to be out of class.
3). If
student signs up, we assume s/he is coming.
We ask students to scratch their name off the list if they decide not to
attend.
4).
Students may NOT sign up for someone else.
5).
Students must initial next to their name when they go to the session
