COLLEGE BOOT CAMP
Dear
Rising 12th-Grade Students and Parents,
Registration
for College Boot Camp is now open! College Boot Camp is an optional, fee-based
summer program which is designed to provide students a space and time to
complete their Common Application (or other application of their choice) before
the school year starts. The dates are August 15-17 and there is an option
of a morning or afternoon session. Please click the link below to register on
“Sign Up Genius” and receive payment instructions and additional logistical information.
The fee is $55. Fee waiver information, if needed, is provided within the link
below. Registration operates on a “first come, first served” basis, so if you
are interested in attending please register ASAP. Registration is open until
May 31. If the program appears full when you go to register, please your name
to the waitlist. We are continuing to look at different spaces in the school
building to accommodate the demand.
More
information about College Boot Camp: The MLWGS Senior Counselors will provide a
structured curriculum over three, three-hour sessions with specific tips and
personal assistance at every step. College Boot Camp is designed to walk
students through each section of the Common Application and provide them with
the resources to complete each section during the program. A guest speaker will
address the essay specifically, and the students should leave the Boot Camp
with their Common App primary essay (or other essay of their choice) in a
completed draft form. There will be some group discussion, peer editing, quiet
individual work time, and one-on-one consultations. The Boot Camp will also
touch on college-specific supplements and popular non-Common App applications.
Topics can be adjusted based on the needs of the group.
Please
contact Rachel Loving at rloving@gsgis.k12.va.us with
questions about registration or program content.
