       Spring Break is an excellent time to visit college campuses - but NOT to interview. See campuses, buildings, local environments. Visit a large university, a small campus, a rural school or a city school. Within a short distance, in Connecticut, examples of many types exist. Use this time to reach some conclusions as to which type of school is most appealing to you.

  • SAT II: Subject Test
       All students are strongly encouraged to attempt three Subject Tests.
       Generally, most students will take Writing and Mathematics Level IC.
       The third test should be in a subject recently studied such as US History, Chemistry, or Physics.
Summer
  • College Visits
       It is best to make every effort to confine such visits to the summer months. Although students will generally be given permission to visit colleges during the fall of the senior year, missing class time during such a critical period is best avoided if at all possible.
