-15,304 apps started
-1,536 submitted
-Students from 836 HS's have submitted app
-87% using Common App

Remember, EA app deadline is 10/15, but I suggest you submit by at least 10/5 to give yourself/counselor breathing room

SCHOOL COUNSELORS MATTER DURING THESE TIMES TOO - So much has been made of the roles of the teachers & principals in this age of COVID 19, but I have to assume that "virtual counseling" "is a thing" too. Salute to the counselors out there who are working with students virtually.
