College Essays and Transcript Review Event March 27
All Poudre School District juniors and their parents are invited to a College Essay Essentials and Transcript Review event from 5:30-7 p.m., Thursday, March 27, at Wellington Middle-High School, 2856 ClevelandAvenue in Wellington.
CSU will present on writing a strong college essay, and then admissions reps from UNC and the University of Wyoming will join CSU to discuss admission requirements at their schools. The event will conclude with students breaking out into smaller groups and having their transcript reviewed by each of the three schools. This is a great opportunity for students to learn if they are on track for college admission and to get feedback from more than one school.
Juniors should bring a printed copy of their unofficial transcript, which can be printed out from “Course History” in Student Vue.
