Junior Year - Fall
Juniors keep your grades up. Maintaining the same cumulative GPA is good as well. Junior-year grades are extremely important!
Attend a college fair. The first college fair in our area is on Tuesday, October 11, 2016, 6:00 p.m. at St. Vincent St. Mary High School. Additional local area fairs will be announced in College Guidance News and Information.
Complete official college visits over fall, winter and spring breaks and establish a relationship with the college admissions representative assigned to recruit at Walsh Jesuit.
Approximately 50 colleges and universities make appointments to visit Walsh Jesuit each fall. All parents in any grade are welcome to attend any of the college visits. Please see the Walsh Jesuit School Calendar for specific schools, dates and times.
Families can use the College Guidance Scheduler to arrange a Junior Family College Advising Appointment. Appointments will begin January, 2017 and conclude June 30, 2017 for the Junior Class.
Parents should use the College Guidance Scheduler to attend one of ten Friday, Junior Parent
Meetings. These meetings are especially helpful for first time parents.
When Juniors register for the SAT or ACT exams, the price you pay includes the option to send your test scores to four schools. It is wise to use these four slots, as Walsh Jesuit does not provide ACT or SAT test scores.
Consider taking the State and District official ACT at Walsh Jesuit Tuesday, February 28, 2017 at Walsh Jesuit. Registration details can be found on the Walsh Jesuit website on the College Guidance page in the fall.
Student athletes hoping to be recruited by a college division 1 & 2 must complete the NCAA registration paperwork. Student athletes should review their transcript, test scores and grades with their school counselor to confirm they will "clear" the NCAA requirements.
