Correspondence with Colleges
Email schools for viewbooks, catalogs, DVDs/CDs, applications, and financial aid information; this will also add the prospective student to their mailing list (make sure to include expected year of graduation on all correspondence).
Create a Resume
Students will need their resume for interviews, recommendation letters, and college applications (remember to keep it updated); this sheet includes the student’s name, honors/awards, extracurricular activities, volunteer activities, employment, and athletic activities. Students can use the NHS Resume Template to create a resume.
Campus Visits
Call or email the admissions office to set up an appointment for tours and/or interviews at least two weeks in advance. When scheduling a personal appointment it is important to bring the Naviance resume sheet explained above, a copy of your unofficial transcript, and a copy of the Newington High School profile.
