    Florida SUS Directors Tour – Every year the directors of admission at our 12 Florida public universities travel the state discussing the additions and changes at their school and in their admissions process. I attended this year’s SUS tour on Sept. 11th. Attached is a very extensive and comprehensive synopsis of the information that was shared. Please read over it and reach out with any questions or concerns. The new SUS matrix (with all stats and deadlines) can be found online here:

    Colleges are using AI in admissions. How can they do it right?
    WBUR (MA) – September 4, 2024
    Some colleges receive tens of thousands of applications every year. Admissions officers are turning to Artificial Intelligence to help with the screening... What that could mean for who gets into college and how: Higher education professionals and admissions officers join us to discuss.

    Common App to expand direct admissions effort K-12 Dive – September 10, 2024
    The Common Application will expand its direct admissions program for the 2024-25 application cycle, offering initiative-taking acceptance letters from 116 colleges to first-generation students and those from low- and middle-income backgrounds. Direct admissions offers prospective students’ acceptance without first requiring them to apply.

    Murder Hornets and Writing a College Application Essay
    U.S. News & World Report – September 9, 2024
    It’s good before writing the essay to take a big step back and consider what the purpose of the college application is. Because here is what you’re actually doing with the application: You are trying to convince a total stranger that you’d be good to have in the classroom, good to have as a roommate, good to have on a dorm floor, good to have on campus, and that you would succeed.

    FCAN Free College 101 Virtual Sessions –

    The Florida College Access Network (FCAN) offers free information sessions on various topics. There are two upcoming sessions:

    Make Your College Application Stand Out from the Rest! - Sept. 17th @ 6 – 7 pm

    Show Me the Money: How to Pay for College Without Breaking the Bank! – Sept. 24th @ 6 -7 pm

     

    2024-2025 Virtual Scholarship Fair – Oct. 15th @ 7:00 pm

    This event is designed to connect deserving students with the financial support they need to make their college dreams a reality. Participants will hear from scholarships representatives and uncover valuable resources.

     

     Searching For Scholarships – There are so many scholarships available to students. It just takes a little bit of effort to find them and then work to apply. There are many free scholarship databases available. Also, students can google topics to see if there are any scholarships associated. For example, I am aware that a few of our students have lost one of their parents. I did a very simple google search and found multiple websites/scholarship opportunities: https://www.unigo.com/pay-for-college/scholarship/scholarships-for-students-who-have-lost-a-parent

    This is just one example of what students can find.

    A few things to be aware of are:

    • You should not have to pay money for the possibility of free money. This means no paying for a data base and no paying an application fee.
    • Students should do a little research to make sure that the organizations are legitimate and not selling their information. 
    • Stop before sharing personal information such as social security numbers, banking information, etc.

     

    Not New, but still important:

    Seniors –

    Remember that I have set a goal date of Sept. 15th for you to have all of your 4-year applications out. 

     

    FAU is holding an Engineer the Future Day. It is open to high school students grade 9 – 12. It is a one-day event offering a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge technology, engage with faculty and students, and envision future careers. Areas of interest include artificial intelligence, robotics, ocean engineering, sustainable engineering, and computer science.

    When: Weds. Oct. 9th 8:00 am – 2:30 pm

    Where:  FAU Boca Campus

     

    Tips about completing self-reported academic records (SSAR, SPARK, etc.).

    Many schools have stopped asking for official transcripts for admissions purposes and are requiring students to self-report their academic history. Nine of our 12 Florida public universities (along with many private and out-of-state schools) require the SSAR (https://srarsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408738060315-Which-Colleges-Universities-Accept-The-SSAR-SRAR ).  UCF requires the SPARK (https://www.ucf.edu/admissions/undergraduate/spark/ ).  It is important that student make themselves aware of each schools’ expectations. Some schools have video instruction links on the website. There are also YouTube videos that students can watch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qZ5epOaNYk ). 

    A few things that students usually find confusing include:

    • We are on a semester (not quarter) system. That means that a student should list 1.0 full credit for each subject. 
    • Senior year social science includes a half credit of Economics and a half credit of American Government,
    • Our technical courses should be listed as electives at the regular level of rigor. 
    • Students need to list all of the courses that they will be taking senior year. If classes are missing the school may not process your application or they may require an official transcript as back-up.
    • High school courses that were taken while in middle school should be listed as having been taken in 9th grade. 
    • Students should list every attempt, which includes any courses taken for grade forgiveness. 

     

    College Board National Recognition Programs –

    College Board’s National Recognition programs help to celebrate the top-performing underrepresented students in the country. Students may qualify by taking the PSAT in their sophomore or junior year. Students earn this academic honor because of their GPA of B+ or higher and outstanding performance on the PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10, and/or AP® Exams. Attached is the list of 2024 awardees. All seniors who receive the National Hispanic Recognition Award will need to upload their notification email/letter and their certificate to Bright Futures. This will remove the need for these students to meet specific test scores for the Bright Futures program. (Please reach out to me with any questions on this.)  Students in the class of 2025 who qualified last year will also need to upload this information. Congratulations to these students! We are so proud of all of you!

      

    Free/Reduced Lunch and Fee Waivers –

    I have had many students approach me about testing fee waivers. Fee waivers are available to students in the 11th and 12th grades. In order to receive these fee waivers, students must qualify for free or reduced lunch and have their name on the Meal Benefits Parent Disclosure Form list. Students must apply for the lunch program every academic year. (www.myschoolapps.com)  They must also complete the Meal Benefits Disclosure form which gives the school permission to know that they qualify.  This form is located on the student’s FOCUS account under the forms tab. There are many benefits tied to this form. (See attached document for list.)  I suggest that all families check the box that states “Yes! I DO want school official to share my children’s Free and Reduced-Price Meal Eligibility with all programs. Checking this box, you allow your child access to all programs listed below.”

     

    NHS Tutoring - 

    The National Honor Society will be offering free peer tutoring for all subjects (core, elective, and technical programs) in addition to SAT, ACT and PSAT tutoring. Tutoring will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays during lunch in Room #301.

     

    News from Common App - 

    In September, Common App will launch a new year of Common App Direct Admissions (*https://www.commonapp.org/directadmissions) with over 120 participating colleges. This program offers college admission to eligible first-generation, low- and middle-income students based on the information they’ve entered into their Common App – before they even apply. Students can view, learn about, and act on these offers directly from their Common App dashboard.

     

    Are you looking for a part time job?

    Central Broward Park has lifeguard job opportunities available. Check out their website for details:  https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/broward/jobs/4620661/lifeguard-student-central-broward-park-and-stadium

     

    Pay attention to deadlines! If there is one point that I can’t stress enough it would be to pay attention to deadlines. You never want to miss an opportunity, whether it be a college or scholarship application or job opportunity, because you missed a deadline. Many schools have selected programs with very specific deadline dates. Below are a few examples.

    • FSU 1st deadline Oct. 15th (Florida residents only, CARE program) Decision release Dec. 1st (2nd date Dec.1 release date Jan/ 1st, Final review March 1st release date March 8th)
    • UF 1st deadline Nov. 1st (Honors deadline) Decision release Jan. 24th (2nd date Jan. 15th release date March 14th)
    • USF – Priority deadline Nov. 1st Decision notification Dec. 10th. Rolling admission afterwards
    • UCF Early Action Deadline Oct. 15th. Decision notification Nov. 15th. Modified rolling admission afterwards.
    • FIU Golden Scholar Program for first generation students Nov. 15th.

     

    College Visits –

    College visits start on Tuesday, Sept. 3rd. College visits are open to all 11th and 12th grade students. Students must register through Ticket Leap in advance. Seats are limited and offered on a first come first served basis. Registration for a visit indicates the student’s interest. It does not guarantee attendance. It is between the student and their teacher whether it is appropriate for the student to miss class time. See list of college visits and registration links below.

     

    Transcript Request Reminder –

    All students should be making their transcript requests through Xello. Seniors – go to college planning. Add your school/s. Submit and request transcript. All students can access unofficial transcript through their Xello account. Students who need official transcript should email Ms. Lynn (through Xello or at: brigitte.lynn@browardschools.com. Students should also check what the school requires. (SSAR, SPARK, etc.)

     

    QuestBridge –

    QuestBridge is a wonderful organization. They have two main programs. The first is the College Prep Scholars Program for juniors. It is available towards the end of the junior year. This program is meant to equip students with the knowledge, confidence, and resources to connect with the nation's most sought-after colleges. The second program is their National College Match which is for seniors. QuestBridge’s goal is to match low-income, academically strong students with one of their 52 college partners, prestigious colleges, and universities across the country. The deadline for students to apply is Sept. 26th. For more information, go to: https://www.questbridge.org/.

     

    Class of 2025 Post Secondary Conferences –

    Seniors, if you have not already had a meeting with me to help you plan for after high school, please do so as soon as possible. My appointment times are at 8:00 am or 2:00 pm on select days (very limited). You can schedule your appointment through my bookings link: https://bit.ly/4bvxIpx.  Make sure that you click on the post-secondary conference link. 

     

    Senior Photos –

    If you have not already done so, you need to schedule your senior photos with Munoz Studios (954)791-2440 (www.MunozStudioInc.com/OnlineBooking) 

     

    Class of 2025 & Common App - https://www.commonapp.org/

    Common App is a shared college application program that allows students to complete one application and share it with multiple schools. There are currently 1076 schools across the country that work with Common App. All of our Florida public universities use common app. When completing the Common App keep these things in mind:

    • Your school counselor is Mrs. Baez – Maritza.baez@browardschools.com
    • Feel free to list me as your Advisor – Brigitte.lynn@browardschools.com
    • Make sure that you check the “enable preview” box. This is needed for us to be able to view a pdf copy of your application.
    • If you are using a college application waiver, notify Ms. Baez, and make sure that you follow each school’s application waiver process.
    • Once you have submitted your application via Common App, you must then keep track of your student portal and all required documents at each of the schools to which you have applied. 

         

    Seniors – 

    Hopefully, you have been thinking about your plans for after high school. If you are planning to attend a four-year university directly after high school here are some things that you need to do:  

    1.  Register and take the SAT and/or ACT (have scores sent to schools who need them)  
    2. College applications (my goal date is September 15th) 
    3. If you are using Common App to apply to colleges make sure that you list Mrs. Baez (Maritza.baez@browardschools.com) as your counselor and me (Brigitte.lynn@browardschools.com) as your advisor.  Make sure to check the enable preview box so that we can read your application. 
    4.  Request transcripts through Xello (see attached instructions)/ Complete SSAR (Self-Reported Student Academic Record) (or SPARK for UCF)  
    5.  Request recommendations (if necessary)  
    6.  Check student portal at each college/university for application check list, status, etc.
    7. Pay attention to deadlines! Most colleges and universities have their own application deadline along with individual program deadlines. Make sure that you submit your application in plenty of time prior to their deadline.

     I am here to help you with this process.

     

    General Advice for all students –

    While most of the information that I share is most pertinent to seniors (and juniors), I do try to share information for all grade levels. Over the years, the most common question that families ask me is: "What should my child be doing now to prepare for college?"  My answer is:  Your child should be doing whatever they can to make themselves marketable. That means:      

    1. Challenge themselves by taking their courses at the highest level of rigor that they can handle.
    2. Get the best grades that they can get.
    3. Get involved, both in school and out-of-school.
    4. Become a leader if possible.

    There is no magic formula for getting into college or into a specific college. Schools are looking at students holistically. They want diversity and students that "fit" what they are looking for. They are trying to build an interesting student body. You want to be true to who you are. Try to find a passion.

    • It's not about checking all of the boxes or having a laundry list of activities. Schools would prefer students do one or two activities that they are devoted to over 20 or 30 activities as a bystander. Be transparent and genuine and portray yourself well through your application and essays.

     

    Juniors and Seniors –

    Pay attention to our on-campus college visits. An admissions representative from these various schools will speak about their school, the admissions process, specific programs, along with general college advice. I am constantly adding visits. Students must register to attend. Space is limited. First come, first served. Registration does not guarantee attendance. It is between the student and their teacher whether it is appropriate for the student to miss class. It is the student’s responsibility to make up any missed class work. Students must have a signed pass/ticket to attend.

     

    QuestBridge –

    QuestBridge is a wonderful organization. They have two main programs. The first is the College Prep Scholars Program for juniors. It is available towards the end of the junior year. This program is meant to equip students with the knowledge, confidence, and resources to connect with the nation's most sought-after colleges. The second program is their National College Match which is for seniors. QuestBridge’s goal is to match low-income, academically strong students with one of their 52 college partners, prestigious colleges, and universities across the country. The deadline for students to apply is Sept. 26th. For more information, go to: https://www.questbridge.org/.

     

    Free/Reduced Lunch Program -  

    There are many benefits to qualifying for free or reduced lunch, other than the meals themselves. Students who qualify for free/reduced lunch are eligible to receive SAT and ACT fee waivers for both their junior and senior years (per test, per year). Additionally, seniors who have taken a test using a fee waiver are able to receive college application fee waivers. If a student were to take advantage of all of the fee waiver offers, they could save over $500. It is well worth the time to complete an application to see if you qualify.

     

    College Entrance Exams -  

    There is always a great deal of anxiety regarding college entrance exams. The Florida State University System (SUS) has always and is still requiring SAT and/or ACT test scores for admissions purposes. Many schools (out-of-state and private) have gone “test optional.”  This means it is up to the student to decide if they want to share their test scores or not. If the scores positively impact and support the student’s application, they should send them. There is no penalty for not sharing test scores for these schools.

     

    There is another college entrance exam called the Classic Learning Test or CLT. At the start of last school year, the Florida public universities and Bright Futures started accepting CLT scores in addition to SAT and ACT. As the BCPS district does not have a contract with CLT, these tests are not administered on any of our schools. Students who wish to take the CLT must register on their own at: www.cltexam.com

     

    Traditionally students take the SAT and or ACT for the first time during the spring of their junior year and a second time during the fall of their senior year. Both of these tests are college entrance exams. Schools will accept these tests equally. It is recommended that students take both the SAT and ACT. This way they will be able to determine if they have a strength on one test over the other. Keep in mind that most schools look at the scores that are most favorable to the student. At the time of registration, students are able to send their scores to 4 schools for free. If students wait until after testing to send these scores, they will have to pay a minimum of $14.00 to have their scores sent. It is the student’s responsibility to have their scores sent to the various schools. Schools will only accept official score reports which are sent directly from these testing agencies. *Students must send their test scores to at least one of the Florida public universities in order for Bright Futures to receive the scores.

     

    SAT & ACT Test schedules –

    Please see attached flyer for the 2024-2025 SAT and ACT test dates. Pay attention to the registration deadlines. Fee waivers are available to students who qualify and have their name on the Meal Benefits Disclosure list.

     

      

    Military Contact –

    I would like to clarify a few things.

    • If you do not want your child to be contacted, you must check the appropriate box on the "No Child Left Behind" form of the Back-to-School Documents. This is very similar to the media release document.
    • If you do not check this box, the various branches can contact the district for a list of names.
    • It will take a while before all back-to-school forms are entered into our system. Therefore, if you or your child is contacted and you don't want to be bothered, all you need to do is ask to have your name taken off of their list. They are required to honor your wishes.
    • When on campus, the various recruiters will set up tables for students who are interested.
    • If you experience any negative interactions with the military, please let me know so that I can address it with our recruiters.
    • While the majority of our students go on to college, we do have a handful of students who choose to enlist in the military. McFatter is very proud and honored to have students choose this path.

     

    On Campus Events:

    College visits are open to juniors and seniors. ~ All students must have a college visit pass to attend. ~ The student must sign up through Ticket Leap to get a college visit pass/ticket. ~ Space is limited ~ Students must have their teacher's signature/permission to attend. ~ It is between the teacher and the student whether it is appropriate for the student to miss class time to attend the college visit ~ College visits are constantly being added.

    RaiseMe - Students (all grade levels) and parents, are you aware of Raise.me? It is a way for students to earn micro-scholarships for things that they are already doing (i.e. - completing a FAFSA, taking AP courses, earning an A). Raise/me has partnerships with many schools across the country. I highly recommend that all students create and update a Raise.me account. https://www.raise.me/  

    Going Merry - Going Merry was new to me last year.  https://www.goingmerry.com/  Going Merry is a scholarship database. It is also a scholarship application. Many of the scholarships listed on Going Merry allow students to use the one going merry application to apply to multiple scholarships.

    Big Futures Scholarship for 2025, and 2026 – The College Board Big Future scholarship is available to students between the junior and senior years. Students who sign up for the program will complete various tasks, which include researching careers, practice for the SAT, explore scholarships, strengthen your college list, complete the FAFSA, and applying to colleges. After a student completes the task, their name is entered in a random lottery drawing. Every month 2 students will win a $40,000 scholarship, in addition to multiple $500 scholarships. If you are a senior and you have not already done so, I encourage you to sign up for this program! These are all steps that you will complete as part of your post-secondary planning.
