This is an interview on KCLive’s youtube channel which is Kansas City Live, they are a network that spotlights people, places and trends. For this video, they are interviewing college counselor Anne Ingersoll and she is giving her advice about how high school students and their families can start planning for college with their children. In this video she talks about her technique the four g’s.
1. Get a jump start
- She suggests that high school students should start preparing and planning for college at an earlier age rather than cramming it all in during your senior year, this is very good advice because a lot of people should get comfortable with the college scenario and learn what they like and don’t like within a college.
2. Grades matter
- Anne Ingersoll makes it clear that your grades to matter in all levels of your high school career, more importantly your last year in high school but they all do need to be taken into consideration.
3. Go visit campuses
- It is important to go visit college campuses to get a feel of what it will be like living there for two to four years of you’re after high school life. While at a college visit you can also talk to college counselors like Anne Ingersoll and have an interview with the professors and admission advisors.
4. Give yourself options
- It is essential to give yourself options while you are applying to college. It is suggested to apply to a variety of colleges with different selectivity and important requirements. Apply to a college that can be your back up if you don’t get into your top school, also give yourself a challenge to apply to a harder school to get into, while your acceptance letters are coming in you will feel better knowing you have choices rather than none at all.
This four G's thing is a great idea. Thanks for letting me know!
