Hi Seniors!
I hope you are having a fantastic summer! It's hard to believe, but the Common App will open on Aug 1.
If you need to schedule a meeting with Ms. Jennifer MacDonald, College and Career Navigator, to discuss college-related topics, please use this link: https://calendly.com/macdonald-mcps/45min
