College Information: Common Application
|
About the College Counseling Program There are 9 counselors doing the college counseling and administration of college services at Brophy Prep. They work with students and their parents during the college selection and application process. All of their efforts are coordinated by the College Counseling coordinator who acts as the school's main point of contact to the universities and colleges with which we interact. Brophy Prep is a member of the National Association of Admissions Counselors, The College Board, The Jesuit High School College Counselors Association and other professional and educational organizations related to the college admissions process. The school is regularly represented at regional and national meetings of these organizations. Brophy Prep has many resources for students and parents. Among them are view books and catalogs from hundreds of colleges, videos from wide variety of colleges (and a VCR with monitor to view them), guidebooks and specialty books and computer programs designed to help in the college selection process. Each fall, Brophy Prep and Xavier host more than 130 representatives from colleges around the country. The event occurs each year in October, generally the third Monday of the month. Additionally many colleges or groups of colleges hold area wide receptions either at Brophy or at hotels or other facilities all over the Phoenix area. Many colleges conduct interviews of applicants at Brophy especially during the first semester of each school year. School sponsored college tours allow students to visit several colleges in one trip, with each trip lasting several days. During the first semester each year all Juniors and Seniors are offered a college planning workshop to look at the many facets of applying to college. In the course of each Junior's second semester, his college selection process gains momentum. In mid-January, a program is held on campus to discuss many of the facets of the college selection process with students and parents. Through the college counselors at Brophy Prep, students are offered as much assistance as they need, but are also encouraged to recognize their responsibility in selecting the college they will eventually attend. There is opportunity for applications and essays to be reviewed and communications with colleges about the status of applications is on going. We assume that nearly all Brophy Prep students plan to continue their studies in college. Brophy students are therefore encouraged to select a college where they will be happy, academically challenged and successful. To contact any of the college counselors, please see the Counseling home page for names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses.
