Dear Juniors and Parents,

 

We hope you are all healthy and well. Please read below for timely reminders and announcements:

For your information and convenience, unofficial transcripts are available for students and parents to view on the Rediker portal. Students may be able to use their transcripts to apply for summer programs and other opportunities. Please see Mrs. Kuznicki if you need an official transcript sent to any program(s). Contact your college counselor if you have any questions or concerns about your transcript.

Electives meetings are underway for students. College guidance advisors will be meeting with each junior one-on-one to discuss electives course requests for next year. Please look for the email you received on February 21st from College Guidance with your appointment time.

Students will be receiving access to Naviance, a web-based resource that we use with students and families for college research, Flatbush-specific admission information, and a wealth of other tools. Look out for an email from College Guidance with instructions to activate your account. Click here for more information on this helpful tool.

We encourage you to take advantage of virtual visit opportunities at colleges and universities. They are an ideal resource to learn about what schools offer and start to build your prospective college list. You may find information, sign up for email lists, and register for virtual tours or events on college admission websites. We have compiled a list of commonly applied colleges with their virtual opportunities here.

• LIM College is holding a virtual info session on Sunday, March 7th from 1:00-2:15pm. Click here to register. 

• The College Board is hosting a series of “BigFuture Days” for high school students to connect with admissions reps and learn more about the college process. Please click here for more info and to register. The first and likely most applicable program is the first session on March 7. 

• Muhlenberg College is also offering a series of free virtual workshops. Click here to view the offerings and register. These workshops are helpful whether you’d consider Muhlenberg or not. But it never hurts to look!

• CUNY (City University of New York) is hosting an Undergraduate Virtual College Fair on March 18. It is another nice chance to meet with admission representatives and explore the range of opportunities within CUNY. You should register and attend if you are free!

• Yeshiva University is holding a series of virtual events for prospective students. Click here for info and to register. 

As you know, the pandemic caused many colleges and universities to implement test-optional admission policies for the Class of 2021. Many colleges are beginning to update and announce their plans for the Class of 2022; the most up-to-date info can be found on their admission office websites. For your convenience, we are keeping track of many colleges on a sheet here. We will continue to update the sheet as we learn more information.
