College Counseling for Freshmen
|
Students in the ninth grade should focus on their lives as Blake students, and not the college search process. They should do their best academically and get involved in extra-curricular activities (either in or out of school) that are of special interest.
The ninth grade Dean monitors student progress, making contact with teachers and parents as the need arises. The Dean also assists students in making appropriate course selections. The Dean will inform students and parents of the preparatory requirements for enrolling in AP courses in the junior and senior years, particularly if the student is interested in attending a highly selective college or university.
If ninth graders have recently completed Algebra II and Geometry and have earned a grade of A- or better, they may choose to take the College Board Subject Test, Math IIC given in June. Ninth graders may also be prepared to take the Biology exam. Students should register for the tests using College Board Registration forms available in the College Counseling Office, or online at collegeboard.com. Questions about appropriate testing should be directed to the grade Dean.
