Mon. Aug 28:
    Welcome back! Today in class we discussed objectives for the new school year, and I shared a comment from and online discussion about the college admissions process, affirmative action, and what admissions offices look for when looking at a prospective incoming class.
    • Important takeaways:
       - By the end of this school year, you need to be ready to start applying for college
       - You should take at least one SAT or ACT test this year
       - Picking a school and major are very personal processes, and you will need to think about who you are and what you want
