Neutuch, Eric
Journal of College Admission, n248 p34-38 Fall 2020
The coronavirus pandemic has upended schooling and students' college admission journeys. Schools transitioned to remote learning, extracurricular activities vanished into thin air, and in-person visits to colleges were abandoned. The SAT and ACT calendars for the late spring were wiped out and subsequent plans for at-home testing were abandoned. As the coronavirus reshapes the college admission process for the high school class of 2021, school counselors adapt their communication methods, predictions, and advice for students.
