| − | + | * The second years would like to see more involvement with the staff in the college application process. We don�t need our hands held, but more involvement than there was this year. | |
| − | + | * Possible one-on-ones with someone to talk about the application process to make sure the student is aware of all the deadlines and such as part of the process. Good measure for whether the student is on track or not. | |
| − | + | * There was a concern expressed that we are the �best in Missouri�, so we want to see better relationships developed with the schools that students are applying to so the schools know what kind of program we are coming from. We also realize this is currently being worked on. | |
| − | + | * Encourage the alumni to talk to their schools, especially the alumni who are at well known schools. | |
| − | + | * More scholarship information, maybe a list of scholarships that students from the Academy have won in the past that we might be eligible for. (website) | |
| − | + | * It would be beneficial to get a list of schools with the number of credits that they would accept. Or be told about the kind of agreement we have with Purdue. (list on website) | |
| − | + | * Maybe training for the colloquium advisors in a routine way so they would be able to answer the students questions about the college application process. | |
