Junior Jumpstart

Junior Jumpstart consists of 3 meetings between January 1 - July 1 of a student's junior year. The program is designed to give families all of the information and resources they need to manage the process on their own throughout the summer and fall, and will include:

• building a list of colleges and an overall strategy
• selecting senior courses and recommendation writers
• discussing standardized testing, extracurricular activities, and summer plans
• preparing for college interviews and visits
• creating a "demonstrated interest" plan
• brainstorming essay topics and application strategy

Students will receive access to a Custom College Plan account and other VinikEPS tools to guide them through the application process.
