Becoming Confident About College


Hey everyone! Now that it is mid April, seniors at Laguna Hills High are busy deciding which of their college options they should attend.  At the same time, colleges and universities are busy trying to persuade the students they admitted to commit to their school over another one.  Once a college admits you, they want to make sure you choose to go there!

During April the colleges hold many events to “meet and greet” their accepted students.  One type of event is a local reception held in cities around the US (and internationally) for accepted students.  This past Saturday I was invited to 4 receptions in Orange County where I live!  Another type of event is the “Admit Weekend”, which is held at the University for prospective students to experience the campus and meet faculty and other prospective students.  I went to an Admit weekend a few weeks ago and am going to another one at the end of April.

April is an exciting time for me to get to know the colleges and find out which one is right for me!  May 1st is when all students need to submit their final commitment to the college they will attend, but my friends have already begun to send in their commitments to the college of their choice!
What would you do to find the right college choice? Let me know in the comments!
