College Advisor's Bulletin
Wednesday, June 7, 2006

Contact: Ilene Abrams  iabrams at berkeley.k12.ca.us

SAT WORD OF THE DAY: LIEGE - a lord, master or sovereign.  While the
servants pledged their loyalty to the liege, they did not always like
or respect him.  

SENIORS
Please remember to let the teachers who wrote your recommendations
know what school you will be attending in the fall.  

CSF SEALBEARERS - The cords and tassels for graduation are here.
Pick yours up from Ms. Harris in the College/Career Center.   

If you are getting below a C in any of your classes and are planning
to attend a four year college in the fall, you MUST contact the
college to discuss this.  All colleges will receive a copy of your
final transcript.  By contacting the college and discussing your
options with them, you may be able to prevent your admission from
being rescinded.  Please see me if you would like to discuss your
grades or what to say to the college.

SCHOLARSHIPS
Berkeley Chamber of Commerce Scholarship - Scholarships awarded on
the basis of scholastic achievement, financial need, citizenship,
leadership, service and employment. Parent must be a member of the
Berkeley Chamber of Commerce. $1,000.  Deadline:  June 15.   

FOR JUNIORS 
*If you are considering applying to private school and haven't yet
asked teachers if they would be willing to write you a recommendation
in the fall, please do so before you leave school for the summer.  

 Don't forget to save your graded papers after school is over.  Some
private colleges ask for them as part of the application process.  

The UC pamphlet, Introducing the University, has arrived.  Pick yours
up in the College Center to get information on each UC campus,
including admissions, majors, financial aid and important contact
information.
