Expert college counselor Mandee Adler Heller, president and CEO of International College Counselors, writes about opportunities Florida Virtual School (FLVS) students have to join clubs. These FLVS clubs allow students to explore interests outside their classes, meet other students, and experience “school” life. The online clubs and groups are only open to FLVS middle school and high school students who are active in at least one course.
International College Counselors recommends that students attend information sessions held by the colleges they are interested in. Students can find out when the schools are coming to their cities by visiting the websites of colleges. School representatives visit international cities in addition to cities in the US.
The Common Application announced changes to its standardized admission form. The 2011-12 version of the Common Application includes new questions about marital status and children, and an optional question about military status. The new version, which will go live on August 1, also asks for more-detailed information about language proficiency and prior college-level coursework. International College Counselors is here to help parent and student navigate the college process.
