Learn which colleges are using the Common Application this year and which are using it exclusively. Online applications either through the Common Application or on individual college websites will make the application process easier for you and will speed up the review process. Do not let the essay process become your adversary. Remember that this is an excellent (and surprisingly short) way to show the colleges a side of you they do not see elsewhere in your application. Here are some things to think about as you start the process. Benchmark eNews is a free, monthly email publication. Event dates are subject to change. Visit your school counselor or call us for more information. At Benchmark, our goal is to demystify the college application process and help you stay focused on a meaningful and effective plan. By filtering out the hype and implementing a program that is individualized and appropriate, you can relax and enjoy what should be an exciting and fulfilling time. We are committed to helping you find a college environment that will offer the greatest opportunities to experience personal and academic challenge, support and success. |

FOCUSING ON WASHINGTON THIS MONTH, are you considering a college with small classes and individualized attention where the faculty is engaged in your learning, but want to stay here in Washington State? Consider the University of Washington Honors Program. This program offers personalized advising, and access to unique study abroad, internship and research opportunities. Whitman College, a Washington selection from the "Colleges That Change Lives" listing is a small, liberal arts college where you can count on small classes, dinners at your professor's homes and challenging academics. The largest class at Whitman is thirty students and it is hard to slip through the cracks here. Forty-five
percent of students at Whitman study abroad. Below is a photo of "La
Maison Francaise" on the Whitman campus where students can live,
eat and learn the French way. Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma offers a wide range of music programs for the serious music student with performances in the beautiful Lagerquist Concert Hall. A strong sense of community and excellent support services make this an excellent choice for students looking closer to home. Another option locally is the University of Puget Sound which draws students from around the nation. If you are planning to visit Western Washington University, make sure and enjoy the panini in the new athletic facility. Students can enjoy this beautiful new facility between classes which may include environmental science, education and vehicle research. The large photo above is of the "Little Green People" who adorn the campus center. Further east at Washington State University you might consider the Edward R. Murrow School of Communications, culinary arts, pre-veterinary medicine, the music composition program with one of the top recording studios in the nation, or high energy physics at the state-of-the-art Impact Lab in the new Institute for Shock Physics.
