The College Counseling office provides college planning resources and information to parents and students. Our goal is to guide families through the college planning and application process. Our role is to share knowledge and to support students in preparation for their post-secondary college and career goals.

APPLYING FOR COLLEGE:
Bradford Prep recommends using the common app to manage the application process. This allows students to apply to multiple colleges and universities in one seamless step.
From Melissa Herman, College Counselor...The time has come, and your students are getting prepared to start applying if they haven’t done so already! I wanted to share a couple of articles with you all that help when trying to determine if your student should apply early action or early decision.

https://www.princetonreview.com/college-advice/early-action-vs-early-decisio
Key takeaway - Early Decision is BINDING – this means if you are accepted through early decision, you are committed to attending that school and will withdraw any applications you may have submitted for the regular deadlines at other schools.
