Class of 2025 College Application Presentation Part 1

As the school year closes, we direct our attention to applying to college and some of the preparation that can take place during the Summer months. There are a number of layers to this process and the Mercy Counseling Staff serves as a resource to you and your daughter. To begin, we hope to provide your family with the information needed to successfully navigate through the nuances of the college application process. 

On Tuesday, May 21, Counseling hosted a College Application Presentation meeting with the Class of 2025. The information presented focused on building a college list, ACT/SAT testing, Letters of Recommendation, and what students can do over the summer to prepare for applications in the early Fall. You'll find links below to the presentation; as well as a list of potential action items your daughter can work on over the summer.

Summer College Application Guide

Looking beyond Summer, here is a timeline of what to expect in terms of presentations and meetings hosted by Counseling:

• August (late) - Student meeting to present the procedures in order to make application requests from Mercy counselors and teachers; as well as provide students the opportunity to ask application specific questions once they begin working on their applications.  
• September (early) - Parent meeting about the application process and how parents can support their daughter through this process.
• September (early) - Student individual meeting with their Counselor to identify where the student is in the process and to establish a plan to help the student move forward with their applications.
• September/October - College Reps from various schools will visit Mercy either in-person or via Zoom. 
• September/October - College Financial Aid Information Presentation

Best wishes to you and your family for a safe and relaxing Summer. We look forward to the 2024-25 school year and the opportunities it brings us to work more closely with your daughter.
