Monthly College Counseling Update: May/June 2023
The Class of 2023 Graduates!
We were thrilled to watch the 136 members of the Class of 2023 graduate last weekend. Greeting and congratulating them in the faculty line is one of the highlights of the year. It was a pleasure to walk along side them and their families through their college search process. These 136 Auks are attending 70 colleges in 22 different states, Scotland, Canada, and the District of Columbia. They are traveling an average of 420 miles from Archmere to attend college and 29 of them are enrolling at a school no other Archmere student presently attends.

Students and families received summer checklists to assist them in staying on top of the process. We encourage list reviews, campus visits, and financial conversations during the early to mid summer. Forms were sent to students to request essay reviews. In addition, our office is staffed the entire summer, please reach out when you have questions or would like to discuss things.

We will be communicating with students in late June about moving schools in their CIALFO list from the longlist to the shortlist. This will allow us to categorize all students’ lists by mid-July. In early and mid-August we will be offering group and individual essay meetings and mock interviews. Students do not need to wait for these invitations, they can request these opportunities of the office at any time over the summer.
Class of 2025
Students and families received a summer checklist of recommended activities in advancing their college process and mindset. Should you have any questions about any of the items, please reach out to our office. We’d be happy to discuss summer visits, schools of interest, and college information. Invitations for optional family meetings with a college counselor were sent out this week. Dates are throughout June and July. We look forward to these discussions.
