As the Class of 2025 begins the college-application process, St. Margaret’s College Counseling Office is hard at work connecting students with representatives from colleges and universities as they begin to determine which colleges will be the best fit.

 

This fall, representatives from more than 100 colleges and universities will visit St. Margaret’s to meet with interested students, where they discuss admission requirements, student life, academic opportunities and more. Often, the admission representative who comes to St. Margaret’s is the same who will be the first to read a student’s application, and the visits allow for insight and conversation in individual or small-group settings. 

 

There were 16 schools on campus just this week, including Emory University,  University of California, San Diego, Wake Forest University, University of Iowa and Colgate University.

 

The visits from colleges and universities across the country and around the world will continue through September and into October, and the College Counseling Office is planning more programming as the admissions process gets going, including the recent Senior College Night where St. Margaret’s college counselors review what families can expect this semester as students navigate the application process. Underclass parents should look out for grade specific programming later this year.  

St. Margaret’s has four college counselors working individually and in groups with Upper School students throughout the school year—Director of College Counseling Amy Warren, and Associate Directors of College Counseling Erica Huerta, Ben Lah, and Seaby Rodriguez.
