Here are a few reminders from the Admissions Office.

Seniors – Class of 2010

Accepted Students

Decision Time – If you are planning on attending Keuka, you need to submit your Enrollment Contract and a $200 deposit. Although we have rolling admissions we encourage you to deposit as soon as possible to secure your seat in the freshman class and to get a jump on your residence life paperwork.

Final Grades - Keep up the good work until graduation! Your admission is contingent upon successful completion of your senior courses and graduation, and your high school will send us your final transcript. Just a few more months- keep working hard!

College Credit?- Did you take college level courses through your high school or a community college or university? Did you take AP exams? If yes, please submit official transcripts to be evaluated for college credit to the Registrar’s Office.

Still considering applying? The good news is that Keuka has rolling admissions…. You still have time to submit your application for consideration for the fall class!

Questions? Contact your admissions counselor.

Juniors – Class of 2011

Why do we come to your high school? To talk to you! If you are a high school student, all it takes is 5 minutes to approach an admissions counselor, introduce yourself, and ask a question about the college. What should you ask? The possibilities are endless. You could ask about a major you are interested in, a particular club or sport, or you could ask about what types of scholarships the college offers. Chances are the admissions counselor you approach will be thrilled to talk to you and you will get important information directly from the source.

Further, if you are interested in attending a certain college, make a good first impression on the admissions counselor. Going out of your way to introduce yourself and get to know the admissions representatives is only helping your candidacy at a school and your chances of being accepted. Getting to know your admissions counselor is one way to stand out amongst all other students who apply.

The bottom line here is this- take advantage of college fairs at your high school and in your community. Attend the fairs, approach the college tables you are interested in, ask good questions that will help you learn more about the college, and make sure you introduce yourself to the admissions counselors. It’s your chance to make a good first impression and get all the information you need to make a good choice about where you will attend college.
