The college process

Over the next 8 months FRHS students will be doing the following:

​

​

• Juniors will have an individual meeting with their counselor (spring)
• Seniors will have an individual meeting with their counselor (fall)
• Learning about SAT/ACT
• Juniors will take the SAT on April 10th
• Visiting campuses
• Setting a target list of schools to apply to
• Interviewing with college admissions officers
• Writing and submitting applications (personal statement and supplemental essays)

​

To get started

Our counseling department will be running a week-long immersive orientation to the search process this fall to Boston and New York in order to equip students with the knowledge and confidence to lead and control their college search.

​

​

Why an immersive orientation program?

​

• Find the right school environment by experiencing a variety of campuses.

​

• Understand the criteria to evaluate colleges and form a list of must-haves and must-not-haves.

​

• Hear first-hand from admissions representatives, current college students, and our school’s counseling staff.

​

• Approach the college essay with confidence through workshops, writing exercises, and discussions.

​

• Give students the tools to drive this process and make the college search more productive.
