Hi students and parents:

Lots of unknowns about the current role of standardized testing in college admissions this cycle, but we are recommending students put their best foot forward and do their best on the SAT if you're considering including scores in your application. The PSAT is a good practice opportunity, and is also the test used for identifying National Merit Scholars in the Junior year.

Upcoming SAT test dates: November 4, December 2, March 9, May 4, June 1 and PSAT test date: October 12. The Idaho in-school April SAT date has yet to be announced. We want you to have a score you ultimately feel good about submitting, if needed.

These two sessions are appropriate for Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors; material covered is for those taking SAT or PSAT. Even if your test date isn't until spring, the tips you'll learn now will guide you to better preparation.

Here are the details:

Two options: Saturday, October 7, 9 AM to noon and Sunday, October 8, noon to 3 PM

Covered in these sessions:

Brief Overview of SAT (sections, info tested, etc)
Mindset for the test
General Strategy
Key Concepts to Know in the Verbal and Math Sections
Free Resources for Students
Discussion of the Digital SAT for 2024
Open Question Time

Our instructor is Andrew Wilburn. He's worked as a test prep guru for over ten years, and has tremendous insight into how to optimize what you know, combined with tips about the format of the test, to become more comfortable with taking the SAT.

📢 Calling all Rising Seniors! 📢

FREE 2023 Common Application Boot Camp @ our Boise Location

Over 1000 colleges worldwide accept the Common App. This platform can be tricky to navigate, though! This camp will introduce the application sections, with a focus on tools and tricks for optimizing the special sections like Activities, Honors and Awards, and the optional essays about Covid and Special Circumstances. We'll talk about concise, impactful writing, and how best to convey your interests and identity in these two hour sessions.

We know signing up to talk about college applications in the summer sounds kind of terrible. We see you, and will be offering several raffle items during the sessions. Come on, doesn't that make this tempting?!

If you are outside of Idaho, please send me a DM before signing up. Choose between one of these two dates:

★ Wednesday, August 9 noon to 2 PM and
★ Thursday, August 17 6 PM to 8 PM

We'll limit these classes to 20 students per session so that each student has time to start or work on their application with help from our team of advisors.

Common Application Workshop 2023 August 2023

Attention, Class of 2024! Your time has come!

Not sure what your rising senior should be prioritizing at this time of the year? Here are some of my recommended tasks for rising seniors to get started on:

🎯 Conduct thorough college research online: Utilize various resources like the college’s official website, the Fiske Guide, Niche, Unigo, Youtube, The College Tour, Colleges That Change Lives, and social media platforms to gather information about potential colleges.

🎯 Visit colleges of interest: Take advantage of the summer to visit the campuses that intrigue you the most. Keep in mind that the atmosphere may be slightly different during the summer months.

🎯 Utilize Net Price Calculators to estimate the expenses associated with each prospective school. Keep a close eye on COA (cost of attendance) at each school, not just tuition.

🎯 Refine your resume: Polish your resume by adding details about any independent projects, academic research, summer programs, civic activities, sports, or volunteer work you’ve undertaken.

🎯 Begin working on your personal statement essay: Start drafting your 650-word personal statement essay. Remember to start your draft early and revise, edit, and polish it to perfection.

🎯 Finalize your college list: Narrow down your list of schools and identify those to which you plan to apply early. Shoot for less than ten, applications are expensive and the extra essays - time consuming.

🎯 Assess whether additional standardized testing will be required and make appropriate preparations.

🎯 Prepare for early deadline schools: If you’re applying to schools with early deadlines, start working on the required materials, including the supplemental essays.

🎯 Create Common Application account (and additional accounts if needed): After August 1st, set up a Common Application account and enter all pertinent information. Some schools might not use the Common App, so create separate accounts for those.

🎯 Make progress on your supplemental essays: As you approach the start of senior year, aim to have your personal statement essay, standardized testing, and main sections of the Common Application complete. Focus on making headway with your supplemental essays during this time.

By diligently tackling these tasks during the summer, you’ll set yourself up for a smoother and more organized college application process during your senior year. Best of luck!

I have exciting news, this Facebook Business Page has changed!

If you want to stay connected to me though real estate, you can find me on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/lcrawford

As many of you know, four years ago I went back to school to pursue my passion project in College Admissions and Career Planning. Over the past four years, I have thouroughly enjoyed helping students and parents navigate the college admissions and career planning process. There's no better feeling than strategically preparing students for the next phase of their life after high school, and then watching them launch! I love this work.

I recently joined the college advisory team at Step Ahead Idaho, which is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation. We strive to serve students in their desire to go on from high school, especially those who otherwise would not make the attempt. No one will be turned away due to lack of ability to pay.

I ❤️referrals and my work is not limited to students in Idaho.

LEGAL UPDATE

As we have been predicting for months, the WA statewide eviction moratorium has officially been extended through the end of 2020. To our knowledge at this time, there are no substantial changes other than the date. We will keep you informed of any new information if/when it develops. As a quick reminder, there is currently a moratorium on increasing rents, charging late fees, and serving eviction notices (with very little exception). We continue to partner with our professional organizations in an effort to advocate for landlords with respect to this topic. We are fortunate to have collected approximately 98% of rents due since the pandemic began, and the focus of our efforts with legislators at every level is to narrow the application of the moratorium protections down to people who can demonstrate a COVID-related hardship and provide them with rental assistance as the top priority.

KIRKLAND FEES
We were very recently made aware of an ordinance in the city of Kirkland that requires rental property owners to carry a business license. We will be following up specifically with our clients in Kirkland to achieve compliance with this rule that has essentially been “buried” on the books with the city of Kirkland since 2009. If you are a current client with a rental home that we manage in the city of Kirkland, and you did NOT receive our official corporate memo about this last week, please click below to contact us and make sure you are on our distribution list going forward.

PERIODIC INSPECTIONS
As you are likely aware, earlier this year in response to the COVID-19 outbreak and various stages of shelter-in-place and subsequent phased re-opening throughout the state, we made the decision to pause most of our Periodic Inspection efforts for managed properties. Starting in October, we will be resuming this activity on a modified basis. Generally speaking, all due dates for inspections (through September 2020) will be pushed forward 6 months. We’d like to make this as mutually comfortable for the tenant and the property manager as possible, while still honoring the commitments made in your management agreement regarding maintenance. We have developed some options internally, depending on the situation and the comfort level of the individuals involved. This may result in “remote” inspections with the tenant assisting to take pictures, test smoke alarms, etc. In some cases, a personal visit by the property manager may not be practical (health risk concerns). We will do our absolute best to document the condition and take action as needed regarding the care and maintenance of your rental property. Please feel free to discuss any concerns you may have with your property manager.
