Future Goal..The Short List (beginning of Year 13)
By August of Year 13, students willhave developed a firm list of 6-9
schools to which they are applying
with a range ofReach, Safety andStar schools
Students will apply to no more than
ten universities. (Please note thatthe UK universities will count as one
choice, as will the University of
California campuses.)

Discussion about family finances
You should have engaged in a discussion with yourparents about how much money is available peryear for four years. It is much better for you tounderstand what is (and what is not) possible now
rather than later. While some entrance and merit-based scholarships
are available to international students, it is not safeto rely on them, regardless of how strong a studentyou are.

2010 Alumni Advice
Please work hard on your university research! I have
never put so much dedication into anything in my life!I worked so hard on applying to colleges, doing my
research, getting advice...etc. And in the end it is SOworth it. When I look back, I am so incredibly proud ofmyself and I really hope you can get that feeling too.
Do your research, look for schools that you think wouldfit YOU! Don't just apply for the sake of applying,because you never know where you're gonna get
accepted into, make sure you're gonna love all of them!

How long is
the long list? Selecting an initial pool of 15
to 20 universities gives you theflexibility to eliminate universitiesthat do not suit you.
When you move from your long
list to yourfinal short list of 10universities, you will still have a
full range of schools to which toapply!
Important:
You should have classified your
schools as Reach, Fit, or Star.

How do I know if it is
a Reach, Fit or Star school?
Universities in UK, Canada, Australia and mostAsian countries state their requirements as
minimum IB scores.
For the US it gets a bit more complicated
You need to look into acceptance rates and mid-50% SAT scores

When should I write the SAT and when should I register?
Registration deadlines are always about a month before the test date.
It is not possible to do any standby or late registrations at NIST.
October November December January May June
October November December January May June
Year 12
Year 13
May and June are ideal test dates to
take the SAT again or to sit for Subject
Tests.
October and November are test dates where many students will sit for a third and final
SAT 1. You may also write SAT subject tests if they are required or recommended for
your university applications. November is the only test date that includes Language
tests with Listening. December is the last chance to write the SAT for most students
applying to US colleges. Remember to register during summer as these test dates fill up
quickly.
Take the PSAT at NIST in October. Many students
have already taken the PSAT in Year 11, and try to
improve their scores in Year 12. The results will show
where your strengths and weaknesses are. You can
also use the scores when you research universities on
Naviance. Contact your counselor for more
information on the PSAT.
Students may take SAT preparation
courses during the first semester of
Year 12 and write the SAT for the first
time in December orJanuary.
January might be a possible test date for
some students applying to US universities
(not highly selective ones). It is also a
possibility for students applying to
universities in Asia where the application
deadlines are later on in the school year.

Naviance Resume Guidelines
One of your milestones on Naviance is the resume. It is not to be considered a traditional resume
where you list your accomplishments in a very brief and focused way. The rationale of this resume is
to give a comprehensive overview of your accomplishments and involvments in and out of school. It
will help your counselor write your letter of recommendation. You will need to write essays in some
of the modules. We will need as much information about you as possible to be able to write a
favorable letter for you. Please take a good look at these guidelines as you write your resume.
Specific advice will be given for each of the modules. So, if you are ready, lets begin writing.
Open the resume page as shown below.
7/30/2019 Post-UniQuest Workshop with Year 12 Students 10 January 2013 - Essential University and Future Planning for Yea
52/62
Work Experience
This is a very important module. Use the Description/Comments Box highlighted below,
and tell us as much as possible about your work experience in year 11. Try to relate your
work experience to the university program you are planning to apply to and your futurecareer. Please use the guiding questions below.
1. Why did you choose this career area?2. What are some of the important things you learnt there?3. Mention some of the difficulties you went through and what you learnt from these.4. Mention some interesting experiences you had.5. In what ways did you become a more mature individual during the internship?6. How did this work experience further your interest in your chosen field/career?
You can just ignore these tips. They
are meant for traditional resumes
and wont apply to your writing.
7/30/2019 Post-UniQuest Workshop with Year 12 Students 10 January 2013 - Essential University and Future Planning for Yea
53/62
Education
Fill in the relevant information about your high school years. If you have studied at other
schools before NIST you need to create extra modules to include that information. Make
sure that you provide your grades for each subject from your Year 12, semester 1 or 2report card. Dont forget to state if the course is standard or higher level.
7/30/2019 Post-UniQuest Workshop with Year 12 Students 10 January 2013 - Essential University and Future Planning for Yea
54/62
Volunteer Service
This is also an extremely important part of your resume. We always emphasise your
involvement in community service when we write your letter of recommendation. Most
admission officers want to see that you have been supporting the disadvantaged in yourcommunity, or in other ways improved your environment.
Try to incorporate some of these points in your writing.
