Fontbonne's Guidance Department encourages informed decision-making by providing the following resources to students:
Faculty/Staff
Guidance ResourcesTHE ENVELOPE SYSTEM Depending upon your course of study, some colleges also require: three SAT II Subject Tests, and in the case of art or music majors: tapes, slides, actual art work, or an audition. Generally, you can add a personal statement about yourself. This can be added along with the required essay. An interview is a great idea for the college to put a name with the face. Simply call the college to arrange a convenient time. BE SURE TO READ THE DIRECTIONS THAT COME WITH EVERY APPLICATION SO THAT YOU WILL KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO SEND !!!!!!! 1. Type or print all of your parts of the applications or complete them on the computer and print copies to submit to the colleges. Be sure you (and a parent if you are under 18 years of age) sign it. Make a copy of each of your completed applications including your essay for your personal record. The Guidance Department recommends and supplies large white envelopes. 2. Your envelope should contain: a) Application and all other necessary forms (including the required Application Fee) b) $1.00 Transcript fee c) Transcript request form (available in Guidance Office) d) Outside of envelope should look like this: Your Return Address Jane Smith Office of Admissions College Name Address, State, Zip Be sure to put your Name and Social Security Number on each sheet. YOUR NAME MUST BE ON EVERY FORM BEFORE PASSING THEM INTO US! Students who have mid-term Report Forms should fill out everything except school information. IF YOUR ENVELOPE DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL THE ITEMS MENTIONED UNDER #2 ABOVE, THE PROCESSING OF YOUR APPLICATION COULD BE DELAYED. When you have completed all that is necessary, place your envelope on the secretary’s desk in the Guidance Office. The secretary will log in your application and give it to your counselor. NOTE: YOUR COUNSELOR NEEDS TEN SCHOOL DAYS TO REVIEW AND PROCESS YOUR APPLICATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ALL SCHOLARSHIP REQUESTS. 3. REMEMBER - The Guidance Office DOES NOT send your SAT I AND SAT II scores to the colleges. That is your responsibility. It takes about 4 weeks for the scores to arrive at a college after you send in the request. 4. Early Decision/Action candidates should see their Guidance Counselor by September 15th . Those deadlines are usually Nov. 1st or 15th. Any other applications you want sent before Jan. 1st should be given to the Guidance Office by the first week of December. 5. If you send your applications via Internet, submit the envelope to us as described above with any forms needed to be filled out by guidance. We will then send out all your supporting material -- transcript, report card and recommendation, again needing the ten days as mentioned above. PAY ATTENTION TO DEADLINES !!!!
