College Counseling

9th and 10th grade: Advisors help students select appropriately challenging coursework and encourage them to become involved community members both in and outside of the classroom. Standardized practice exams are offered to ensure that students have experience with SAT- and/or ACT-style tests.

11th grade: Advisors help students develop leadership through their campus involvements and select coursework that challenges them and deepens areas of interest. Students work with the college counselor starting in the beginning of the spring term to reflect on their long-term goals, create a college list, and plan out standardized testing. Juniors take the PSAT in the fall term and draft a college essay in a final unit of their English class during the spring term.

12th grade: Advisors continue to give guidance around course selection and encourage seniors to find their unique leadership path within the community. The college counselor supports students in finalizing their college list, reviews applications and essays, and provides financial aid resources to families. College admission counselors visit Dublin’s campus throughout the fall to meet with prospective students. To complete the process, students are assisted with considering their admission offers and the school celebrates each student’s next step forward.
