SUMMARY:Grade 12 Groups Sessions: Session Two
DESCRIPTION:Fall is the busiest season at Options\, and there is a significant wait to meet 1×1 with a consultant. We want to help you get going! To provide assistance and serve our communities\, we have created a customized group model. Join three of our most senior staff: Melinda Giampietro\, Options president and founder; Monika Gay\, an Options senior consultant; and/or Mono Brown\, Options most senior writing coach. They will help you navigate through a series of group workshops to assist all of your needs during application season. You can pick and choose your sessions or do a full series. \nDo you know what you want to study\, but need help creating a plan? \nDo you know what you want to study but aren’t quite sure where to begin constructing a list of post-secondary institutions and what type of research you should be doing? This session is to help turn their ideas into a concrete application game plan. Students will be guided through a process to research programs and post-secondary institutions. We will discuss how to research how programs are alike and different and how to match programs to a student’s values. Students will leave with a concrete list of programs and institutions that they will consider applying to for fall 2022. \nCost for a full series: Register for session 2\, 3\, 5 and 6 for a total of $595 + GST (a savings of $125). No cancellations or credits will be given.

SUMMARY:Grade 12 Group Sessions: Session Five
DESCRIPTION:Fall is the busiest season at Options\, and there is a significant wait to meet 1×1 with a consultant. We want to help you get going! To provide assistance and serve our communities\, we have created a customized group model. Join three of our most senior staff: Melinda Giampietro\, Options president and founder; Monika Gay\, an Options senior consultant; and/or Mono Brown\, Options most senior writing coach. They will help you navigate through a series of group workshops to assist all of your needs during application season. You can pick and choose your sessions or do a full series. \n Do you need help following up on your applications and reporting your grades? \nDo you need help following up on your applications after you have applied? These sessions are for you. You will open university portals and learn how to upload and/or self-report your grades. This is an excellent maintenance session. Session five is for reporting mid-semester grades (or first term linear grades) and session six is for reporting your end of semester grades.
