𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗼 𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝟭𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲

As the chatter from families in the class of 2027 about applications, essays and deadlines picks up, it is a great time for students and families in the class of 2028 to start looking ahead. Getting a jump start on college planning can reduce stress and create opportunities. Whereas poor planning can lead to increased stress and lost opportunities.

To help you out let’s talk about three things a student can do in 11th grade to make the college planning process smoother (plus 1 bonus tip for parents)

1. 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 🗣️
Get engaged in activities that you enjoy and/or reflect your potential major. Check out DECA if your interest in business or HOSA if you want to focus on pre-health. Model UN is great for our future Politics and Policy majors while a budding engineer should consider Robotics. You get the idea. If you have already been a member of an organization then taking on a role in leadership is a great idea! Colleges want to see that you are engaged in your authentic interests!

𝟮. 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 📝
Figure out if you are going to take the SAT or ACT and pick your testing dates. Registration is open through June. That means now is a good time to commit to those dates by signing up! I recommend that you create a schedule that allows you to take whichever test you choose at least twice between now and early next fall. If you are looking at highly competitive admissions then making time for a third test date before November 1, 2027 is a great idea!

𝟯. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 ☕
Learning about careers and potential majors is a great way for students to start envisioning their future. One great step is to do informational interviews with professionals in fields of interest. Who do you know in criminal law, or orthopedic surgery? Offer to take them to coffee and chat. Ask about their path. What did it take to get to where they are today? And what does their day to day life look like? Is it what you expected? What are the downsides to this career?

𝗕𝗢𝗡𝗨𝗦 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿 🏦
I am NOT a financial advisor and I do NOT give my families financial advice. But I do share the facts to make sure everyone can make an informed decision. If your student is going to graduate high school in 2028 then your 2026 taxes are the first set that will be reviewed for financial aid. Talk to your financial advisor about any big income decisions and what your family can afford. Getting real about the numbers will help your student build a realistic college list come spring.

Monday College Review: Randolph Macon College

Nestled in charming Ashland, Virginia — just 20 minutes from Richmond and two hours from both the beach and the mountains — Randolph-Macon College is a hidden gem worth knowing about. With around 1,800 students and an 11:1 student-faculty ratio, RMC offers the kind of close-knit, personalized experience that's hard to find anywhere else.

No teaching assistants here — every class is led by a real professor, and the average class size is just 17 students. Whether you're pre-med (with a 50-60% med school acceptance rate!), a future nurse, or an aspiring athlete, RMC has a path for you across 18 NCAA Division III sports.

And here's a fun one: honors students can take a course on the *literary analysis of Harry Potter* — yes, it's a real class! With 98% of students receiving financial aid and a 4-year graduation guarantee in writing, RMC is as committed to your success as you are.

One of the best ways to understand the value of personalized college guidance is to look at the results.

I’m proud to share a list of colleges and universities where my students have been accepted with my guidance and support.

From highly selective universities to outstanding liberal arts colleges, research universities, and specialized programs, my students have earned admission to a wide range of schools that align with their individual goals, interests, and strengths.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁.

They are the result of thoughtful planning, personalized strategy, strong applications, and understanding what makes each student unique.

As an independent educational advisor, I work closely with students and families throughout the college process—from developing a strategic college list to building a compelling application and making informed decisions along the way.

Monday College Review: Batten University

Big things are happening at Virginia Wesleyan University in Virginia Beach! As of July 1st, the school officially rebranded as **Batten University**, thanks to an incredible $80.3M gift from philanthropist Jane Batten (yes — of Weather Channel fame). It's a bold new chapter for a school that's always punched above its weight.

With just 1,600 undergrads and a 15:1 student-to-faculty ratio, this is a place where professors actually notice when you miss class — and email you about it. Students benefit from a unique **4-credit system**, generous merit scholarships, and even a $1,000 bonus just for filing your FAFSA. The selective **Batten Honors College** offers full tuition scholarships to 20 students each year.

Campus life is vibrant — 40+ countries are represented, and every Wednesday students celebrate global cultures through **Worldly Wednesdays** in the dining hall. Oh, and every day at noon, the bell tower plays the fight song. Miss it at 5pm and you'll catch the alma mater instead. 🔔

With beach access, a Tokyo campus, and a brand-new health sciences building on the way, Batten University is one to watch.

Starting the year out right

All across the country this and next month students are starting their high school years. Many parents and adults remember those years fondly and others not so much so. However you remember your high school years, there is no doubt that this is a time of rapid growth for young people, physically, emotionally and mentally. Students are establishing their own identity apart from parents and family, exploring their interests, learning to be independent and beginning to become self-sufficient adults. They are doing all of this while building what will be their first resume that will ultimately be the foundation for their college applications. That can be a lot of stress! And stress is not what a young developing person needs.

Ideally, we find a way to encourage students to seek academic rigor, explore and learn about their interests all while still being kids. I often tell my students and families that contrary to popular belief there are only 3 non-negotiables during the high school years. No, I am not talking about a certain number of AP classes or earning an IB diploma. Nor am I focused on earning a 4.0 or any other specific set of extra-curricular activities. The 3 non-negotiables are sleep, social time with peers and family time. Whatever we do in the academic and extracurricular realm in a student’s life these non-negotiables should not be compromised.

The best start to high school involves taking the right classes and engaging in the right activities for the specific student. Parents resist the urge to prescribe who your student is and will become. Let your student be who they are, encourage exploration and discovery of their own interests. Students, work hard in class and enjoy your time outside of class. Engage. Explore, Discover.
