#CFMchat Summer Planning for Juniors and Seniors
Just because it’s summer, it doesn’t mean rising juniors and seniors should not be thinking about their future. They should learn more about college options to identify which are the best-fits. Students can use this summer to organize their approach to college admissions. This chat will focus on how to think ahead and how students can take advantage of summer by managing their time with an eye on college admissions.
