Ahhh… Senior year is finally here. This is the year where we can wear our yellow polos with pride, enjoy the shorter walking distance from the senior lot, and spend time with classmates in the new senior lounge. While taking in and enjoying all of these good things, we are all racing against the clock to get those college applications in.

We have spent countless hours researching possible institutions, we have taken the SAT and ACT multiple times, visited schools all summer long, and have completed the (seeming-to-never-end) Common Application. And as the November 1st deadline is quickly approaching, many members of the senior class are finalizing their college essays, participating in interviews, both on and off the NDA campus, and making sure their test scores, transcripts, and letters of recommendation are all sent.

We are all working very hard to finish. Some students are hoping to send everything in by Monday, while others waiting for later deadlines. Whatever the case, we are all encouraging one another along the way and are waiting as patiently as we can for responses!
