Grade 12 COurse selection meetings
Now that we are in the spring term, it is time that every Grade 11 student makes an appointment with their University Counsellor to review and confirm their Course Selections for Grade 12. It is required that you have this meeting, but please come in as many times as you need as you consider your plans for next year. If you have changes to make, you will need to make an appointment to discuss them with your University Counsellor.
The list below includes Grade 11s who have not yet had their meeting to confirm their Course Selections. Please book an appointment soon!
In this list there remains a handful of Grade 11s who have inexplicably not completed their Course Selections. YOU MUST COMPLETE YOUR COURSE SELECTION FORM IMMEDIATELY!!

Summer Tasks
Summer Tasks
What US Applicant MUST get done before returning to Brentwood in September
- Continue drafting your Personal Essays... and your Supplemental Essays
You should return from the summer with a near-Final Draft!
Once your Schools have been added to the CommonApp and you have reveiwed the Supplemental Essay requirements, have those drafted, too!
- Refining your College List.
You will be going into the summer with 15-20 schools that you are seriously considering. You should be refining that list to have 3-4 schools in each of the Safety, Target, and Reach categories.
- Getting your Common Application DONE!
You are able to create your Common Application account now and Roll it Over (After August 1) for the fall. Over the summer you need to focus on:
Entering all biographical and academic information. When there is something you don't know, either skip it or enter in filler that you will correct later
Adding Schools. Once your schools are added, you can begin to answer their specific questions and, most importantly, discover what Supplemental Writing they require! But don't add schools until after August 1... their material may change with the Rollover.
WARNING: If you do not return from summer with all of this done, you will already be behind in September!
