YOUR student had likely applied to universities and might have already received a response from them. If not, they might expect to receive it in the coming weeks. Of course, you and your student may be worried about COVID-19âs impact on university admissions. How might changes to exams affect the offers? Might universities change the admissions decisions they have already made? What if my familyâs financial circumstances have changed?
First things first â take a moment to help your student celebrate any offers of admission that they have received! This is a huge accomplishment and recognition of your studentâs ability and potential. Ultimately, whatâs happening with university admissions at the moment is no reflection on them!
Secondly, keep in mind that this situation is new for everyone, including your studentâs university counsellor and university admissions teams. Information is evolving, and college counsellors are keeping up with university changes by attending virtual events.
Your questions and concerns are valid and essential. Still, universities and counsellors may need some time to learn about changes, put policies in place, and organise communications before they may be able to dedicate time to advise on individual cases confidently.
Remember: students are completing applications now for universities in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
