The belief that educating the “whole” student best prepares for college and for life informs each student’s daily experience at GA. Each academic challenge, intellectual risk, new extracurricular undertaking, or commitment to lead stretches students and develops rich layers to their personalities. When students have made the most of their time at GA, they can then, in turn, present their “best selves” to colleges. Finding the “right” college no longer becomes the culmination of the high school experience if it is a part of the journey through high school itself. And, it should be a dimension of that educational journey. It is not a finale, an end. The college search stretches students to reflect on themselves (to identify colleges that may be good matches and to write essays that capture their essence) to test their newly developing decision-making skills (to decide on where to visit, where to apply, and eventually where to attend), to navigate the research tools of the college search process, and to ultimately envision a new milieu where they will be able to continue to grow academically, socially, and personally. Too often today, both students and parents focus only on the end, college as the destination, but at GA we challenge students to view the college search as an educational voyage inward that will eventually lead them to a campus community where they can continue that journey. Suddenly, the college search no longer becomes about “the name,” “the bumper sticker,” or the “sweatshirt,” but about a process that will lead students to a place that will nurture who they are and who they want to become. The College Counseling team wants to help you find that college – the one that will accelerate your growth, help you discover new passions, and equip you with the skills and knowledge to navigate an ever-changing world. To us, it’s not about the list; it’s about you! THE ROLE OF YOUR COLLEGE COUNSELOR IN YOUR SENIOR YEAR As a sophomore and junior, you may have met with your college counselor a couple of times. You got to know each other a bit; your counselor suggested colleges to explore, standardized tests to take, and courses to complete your schedule. This year that relationship should grow exponentially because your college counselor is the professional who can help you determine where and how to apply to college and ensure that your applications reflect your best self. GA’s College Counseling team wants you to take full advantage of all of the services our office offers. We are here for you and your parents! Counselors help seniors with the following tasks: • Refining your college list to ensure it is balanced with likelies, possibles, and reaches. • Determining how you will apply and strategizing about the best use of an Early Decision, when appropriate. 5 • Helping you to include financial likelies if cost is a concern and guiding you on which colleges award merit aid and which need-based. • Answering questions as you complete applications. • Reviewing essays and applications (see process for having an essay reviewed). • Showing you how to request transcripts, send your standardized test scores, submit your applications, etc. • Serving as your advocate by writing a compelling letter of recommendation. • Reviewing your teachers’ letters of recommendation to ensure all pieces of your supporting credentials work together to present your best self. • Re-evaluating your college list after the early round. • Helping you decide which college to attend in the spring (if you are not committed to a college previously). • Advising student athletes on how to interpret conversations with coaches and register with the Initial Eligibility Center. • Assisting performing and visual artists with uploading portfolios and navigating through audition and portfolio review processes. • Helping you understand and compare financial aid packages. • Meeting with you, and your parents too, as often as needed. • Answering your parents’ questions and communicating with your parents. We are all in this together. If we could ask one thing of both students and parents, that would be, if you have a question, ask it.

  • The Psychology Externship
    The Psychology Externship INTRODUCTION The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) Student Counseling Center Externship provides an opportunity to experience and learn about the growing discipline of university mental health while providing psychotherapy to students in a supportive training environment. The externship is exclusively focused on the outpatient assessment and treatment of college and graduate students. Other weekly activities will include: individual supervision with licensed psychologists, a case conference and didactic seminar, and mental health outreach and prevention workshops. CLINICAL RESPONSIBILITIES Through the externship, externs develop skills in diagnosing and treating the mental health issues of a diverse college-based population. The extern will spend most of their time engaged in direct clinical work. This will include conducting initial diagnostic evaluations and ongoing weekly psychotherapy sessions. Externs are responsible for a caseload of 6-8 students per week and will receive on-site supervision. Externs wishing to see more than 6-8 students are usually easily accommodated. Externs also participate in student walk-in hours where they are trained in conducting brief evaluations and crisis intervention. PSYCHODYNAMIC FOCUS The JTS Counseling Center Psychology Externship provides an opportunity to develop and hone skills in contemporary supportive psychodynamic psychotherapy in the college setting. Weekly psychodynamic supervision, case conference, and readings discussed in the didactic seminar will enhance this learning. OUR STUDENTS The opportunity to work with students engaged in a religious and spiritual journey provides unique learning possibilities to our externs. Many of our students are enrolled in joint programs with either Columbia University or Barnard College. Of equal importance, their learning takes place at the Jewish Theological Seminary where students are training for careers in Jewish education and/or religious leadership positions.

To examine these potential outcomes, I’ve synthesized several studies of Georgia’s Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) program. Additionally, I sought to compare the RSTC with other similar programs at UNL’s peer Big Ten institutions. To accomplish this, I compiled and analyzed public information on merit-based programs at the 14 Big Ten schools from their university websites.
