Hi everyone, this week’s tip is about choosing colleges to apply to/attend.
First thing is first, make a list of all the criteria that are important to you. This can be generosity of financial aid, availability of research opportunities, location, course requirements for a degree, the presence of an Ethiopian community e.t.c. Once you have this list, you can go on to rank your college choices. Please don’t underestimate the research you have to do before you decide to enroll in a specific school. Speak to current students, watch webinars most schools have online, check out some of their professors and the research they do, or if they have athletic programs you’d be interested in. Maybe even specifically look into the department that you’re interested in. Point is, for the sake of your future happiness, make sure the school you choose is the best fit for you.
On the other hand, a specific school doesn’t have to be perfect as long as it meets the requirements that are most important to you. Remember that whatever school you choose, your attitude, persistance, and the people you surround yourself with are the things that make a difference to your college experience.

Spring Workshops are back! Do you want to learn the basics about the college application process including: the SAT, Common App, Finacial Aid, application essay and more? Look no more. We are back with our annual Spring Workshops. The first session will be held at St. Joseph School on March 9 from 9am - 2pm ( 3 o'clock to 8 o'clock local time). The other two sessions will be held on March 16 (at Nazareth School) and March 23. Stay tuned for more info and registration information.
Hey everyone! Get ready for another weekly CTP tip! Following up last week’s post on the college search, this week we’ll be talking about how to correspond with admissions officers.
The college search is a crucial part of the application process but reaching out to admissions offices can be overlooked. When in doubt(about say a college’s application requirements), admissions officers are the best source of information. Though it can be scary writing to them, know that they’re actually happy to answer any questions you have aaand it’s part of their job to address your concerns too.
Think through what you want to ask or what your objective is and try to respond within two days of getting a response from the school. There are also some great templates you can find online. On that note, *please please make Google your friend!!*
Anyway, some pointers would be to put yourself on the mailing list of colleges to get up to date emails about a college, and *to contact a current student, alumnus or admissions representative*.
Don’t be afraid to ask for the help you need folks! See you next week!

It has been brought to our attention that many schools don't provide students with school ID's. If you're in that category, make sure to register for the upcoming session at St. Joseph before Friday 8pm (mishit 2 se'at) so that we have a list in handy to check off and let in students.
Also, for everyone who plans to attend the Saturday session but has not registered yet, this is a reminder to complete your registration by the same deadline on Friday.
You will find the registration link on the previous message.
Cheers!
