For most high school seniors (and those that support them on their college preparation journey), the push up to November 1 is frenetic! Essays crafted, standardized testing finalized, last-minute campus visits made. It’s an incredibly productive time! After November 1 — not so much.
Every year we see the hint of a senior slump in our students in November and early-December. We know that you are a bit exhausted and tired of the process, but trust us, you will have a much better winter break if you keep pushing ahead. Those January 1 deadlines aren’t that far away.
So take a weekend off and then get back to work! You’ll be glad you did!
