Tips for students in November
November is a unique time as the first half of the year is wrapping up and students are preparing for the holidays. Remember, it’s very important to stay on top of your schoolwork to help ensure a successful end to the semester in December. Using your Thanksgiving break to get ahead on projects and studying can be a great idea, and you’ll thank yourself when mid-December rolls around!
For seniors in high school, November can also be a great time to get acquainted with scholarship essay prompts for Regular Decision schools they are considering. You should aim to have some first drafts done by the end of November, and remember, the earlier you look at the prompts, the longer you’ll have to chew them over and decide what angle to take in your response.
