Admissions

Policy updates.
Most colleges are communicating COVID-related changes to admissions policies on their websites, generally on a dedicated webpage. Do a google search for “college name” and “COVID” or “coronavirus” to find changes to their testing policies, application requirements, deadlines and more.

Virtual visits
Most colleges are now offering virtual information sessions along with virtual tours - check the Admissions section of their websites to learn more and register. If you’re looking for an outside perspective about their campuses and college life, here are some resources:

College Connect is a free platform that pairs high school students with current college students who are ready to answer questions about their school.

Youniversitytv.com features in-depth campus tours, and college segments often also layer in short interviews with current students and faculty.

Induck.co (and, yes, it’s “.co”, not “.com”) provides interview-based student perspectives on different aspects of schools, from academics to social life. Currently offering a free trial due to COVID.

TESTING

Two pieces of advice as standard test dates are changed and rescheduled: 1) register early for future test dates before seats fill up, and 2) students should continue working on their skills so they don’t get rusty. While more and more colleges are announcing test optional policies for this cycle, we’re recommending that students still sit for and complete testing if they’re able to, comfortably and safely. That’s because test optional does not equal test blind, and sitting for the test can provide you with more options.
