The mission of the Counseling Office is to provide our students with effective academic, college, career, and personal counseling. We are here to help you navigate successfully through your high school career.
How it works:
- Students are assigned a counselor by alphabet and will remain with the same counselor for all four years. This system establishes a trust amongst our students and their families.
- Students will be scheduled for (2) counseling appointments each school year, one per semester.
- Additional appointments with a counselor can be made in the counseling office OR via email. Parents will be provided with contact information as well.
- Conversations between counselors and students are confidential. Don’t be afraid to come to your counselor with anything you feel you may not be able to handle. And, always remember – you are not alone! If you ever have a question or problem, your counselor is there to help.
What we do:
The Brother Rice Counseling Department works diligently to ensure the success of our students and their emotional well-being by:
- Providing academic support that helps students navigate through the transition into high school.
- Hosting college and career fairs throughout the school year to help guide students down their future paths.

Work as hard as you can to earn outstanding grades. Grade point average (GPA) is the most important factor that colleges look at when they are deciding whether or not to admit you.

Therefore, it is important for you to earn good grades in all of your classes, all four years of your high school career.
Take classes that challenge you. Whether that is FOCUS, PREP, HONORS, or ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP), the appropriate class placement is one that you have to work hard to earn high marks.

Create a list of “Colleges I’m Following” in SCOIR using college selection criteria that are important to you (for example…location, academic major, GPA and ACT/SAT score requirements, tuition and fees, school size, extracurricular activities, campus setting, financial aid, etc.).
Every college in the United States has a “Net Price Calculator” available on their website. Use the “Net Price Calculator” to get an estimate of how much it will actually cost to attend each college on your list. The Net Price Calculator gives you a net price for a single academic year, after subtracting scholarships, grants, and loans.
In SCOIR, complete the career questionnaires. After completion, SCOIR will provide you with a list of careers that are a good fit for you based on your interests and personality. Research these careers in SCOIR, as well as other careers you may be interested in. Discuss the results of your career questionnaires with your counselor. Your counselor wants to help you select a career that you will find most enjoyable, interesting, and that will pay you well.
Find out if the colleges that you are interested in require the ACT, ACT + Writing, SAT, and/or the SAT Subject Tests for admission.
Visit ACT’s website (www.actstudent.org) for information about ACT test dates, registration deadlines, test fees, etc. We recommend taking the ACT test in April and June of your junior year, and if necessary, in September and October of your senior year. You are responsible for registering for the ACT test online at www.actstudent.org. Your Counselor is available to assist you with this process.
Visit College Board’s website (www.collegeboard.org) for information about SAT test dates, registration deadlines, test fees, etc. If you decide to take the SAT test, we recommend taking the SAT test in May and June of your junior year, and if necessary, in October of your senior year. You are responsible for registering for the SAT test online at www.collegeboard.org. If you choose to take the SAT Subject tests, we recommend taking them in May or June. Again, you are responsible for registering for the SAT Subject tests online at www.collegeboard.org. Your counselor is available to assist you with this process.
Practice, practice, and practice some more for the college entrance exam(s) that you will be taking (ACT, ACT + Writing, SAT, SAT Subject Tests). See your Counselor for college entrance examination prep information.

Brother Rice & Mother McAuley are proud to partner together to cover our junior classes prep courses. Information will be distributed to parents and students in November regarding our offerings.
Stay committed to your extracurricular activities. Colleges look for consistent participation from one year to the next, and they are impressed when you take on a leadership role. Also, remember quality over quantity. Colleges want to see a strong commitment to one or two extracurricular activities that truly interest you. These activities can be at school or in the community.
Crusader athletes…if you think you will be playing a Division I or Division II sport in college, visit the NCAA Eligibility Center website (www.eligibilitycenter.org) to stay current on the academic requirements you will need to meet while in high school to be eligible to play in college. Also, meet with your Counselor to review the classes you will need to take during your senior year to be eligible to play at the college level.
Update your resume throughout the year – use SCOIR. Be sure to include all of your extracurricular activities, honors, awards, accomplishments, paid work experience, volunteer experiences, community service experiences, etc. When applying for college admission and for scholarships, you will need to reflect on what you did in high school, so it’s a great idea to keep your resume updated each year. You may also want to include your resume in your college applications next year. It’s a great way for Admissions Counselors to see all of your activities and accomplishments in one easy to read document.
Familiarize yourself with the Common Application (www.commonapp.org). The “Common App” is a universal college application that is accepted by hundreds of colleges. You fill out the application once, and then you can submit it to any of those participating colleges.
Start working on your college essays. Many colleges require you to write an essay(s) as part of their application process. These essays are a critical piece of your application. Your essay(s) will allow your prospective college to see how well you write, but more importantly, it gives them an opportunity to get to know you better. Your essay can make or break your application, so be sure you put extra effort into your essays. Counselors and English teachers can assist you in writing and editing your essays.
Letters of Recommendation: Letters of recommendation are often required for college admission. Start thinking about whom you would like to ask to write you a letter of recommendation. It is important to select teachers, counselors, coaches, employers, etc., who know you the best. Please give your recommender plenty of time to write for you. A minimum of 4 weeks notice is best. You should ask your recommender in person to write for you at the end of your junior year, or at the beginning of your senior year.
Get a summer job or an internship related to your career interests. Also, consider applying for an enrichment program on a college campus.
Visit your top choice colleges over the summer. You can register for a tour on most college websites, or you can call the Admission office to schedule a tour. Strive to visit at least 5 colleges over the summer. Talk to your tour guide, professors, and current students during your visit.
Talk to friends and family members about their college experiences, especially if they attended a school on your list.
Start searching for college scholarships. Use the following websites to conduct your search:
Be sure to see your Counselor for more scholarship resources.
You will be completing your college applications in the fall of your senior year, but find out the application deadlines now. This will allow you to prioritize the order that you will complete your college applications in the fall. Also, take a look at the applications you will be completing to identify how much work is required per application. Applications can be found on the college website, or on the Common Application website.
Senior year grades do matter… a lot! When you apply to a college in the fall of your senior year, you will need to send your official transcript to the college after you submit your application. Your official transcript includes your GPA, class rank, a list of all the classes you took (freshman through junior year) and the semester grades you earned in each class. Although your senior year grades are not on the initial transcript you will send, most colleges ask to see your 7th semester grades. Therefore, it is important to strive for excellence in the classroom your senior year. Your 7th semester grades can lead to an admission offer if they are good, and also, your 7th semester grades can lead to a rejection letter if they are poor.

Attend the Brother Rice/Mother McAuley College Fair in September. Approximately 200 colleges attend our College Fair. This is an excellent opportunity for you and your parents to speak to college representatives from the colleges that interest you the most.
Throughout the school year, over 100 colleges visit Brother Rice to promote their schools and to recruit you. During your lunch, stop by their table to pick up information booklets and ask questions you may have about their school.

Early in your senior year (August, September), ask your teachers, coaches, counselors, bosses, community members etc., for a letter of recommendation if it is required for admission. Please ask them in person. DO NOT ask them in an email. Ask them in person. It is the professional way to do it. Prior to asking your recommender in person, you should complete the “Information for Recommendation Letters” questionnaire in SCOIR. The information you provide in this questionnaire will help your recommender write a quality letter for you. If your recommender works at Brother Rice, he or she will be able to view your responses online in SCOIR. If your recommender agrees to write for you when you ask them, the next step is to add them in the “Recommender” section in SCOIR. In this section in SCOIR, let the recommender know the colleges you would like them to send your letter, and the deadline it needs to be submitted by. See your Counselor if you need help completing this step in SCOIR. Remember, faculty members at Brother Rice get overwhelmed with letter requests, so please provide at least 4 weeks of notice. Also, it is your responsibility to follow up with your recommenders to ensure that they send your letters prior to your deadlines.
You have done the research on the colleges you are interested in using SCOIR. You have narrowed down your choices using the criteria most important to you and your family (for example…location, academic major, GPA and ACT/SAT Score requirements, tuition and fees, school size, extracurricular activities, campus setting, financial aid, etc.). You have visited several colleges over the summer. You have used the Net Price Calculators to make sure you can afford to pay tuition, room & board, fees, etc. Now is the exciting part…it is time to start applying for admission. We recommend applying to at least 5 colleges.
Complete and submit your college applications early senior year (August, September, October). You will complete your college applications for most schools online on the college’s website, or using the Common Application online. There are very few colleges who still require a paper application. Be sure to pay attention to application deadlines. Deadlines will vary by college. Early Decision, Early Action and Priority Admission deadlines are typically November 1st or November 15th. Regular Decision applications are typically due by December 15th or January 1st. See your counselor for an explanation of the different types of college application options (for example, Early Decision, Early Action, Priority Admission, Regular Decision, etc.), and to discuss which application option is best for you.
After submitting your college application, your official Brother Rice Transcript must be sent to the college’s Admissions Office. The Brother Rice Counseling Office will send your official transcript to the college electronically after you complete and turn in a Transcript Release Form. Please complete the first box, which will cover all applications, scholarships, and recruitment requests. Only complete the second box if you are considering the military. A parent signature is required if you are under the age of 18 and for any military requests. Transcript Release Forms are available in the Counseling office or you can download it here. Remember that if you are applying via the school specific website (not Common App) you MUST email your counselor to have your transcript sent. Any transcript request must be submitted 10 school days before your earliest deadline.
After submitting a college application, your college entrance test score (ACT, SAT, SAT Subject test) must be sent to the college. This is your responsibility. To send your ACT Score, go to www.actstudent.org. It costs $18 to send your ACT score to a college. To send your SAT or SAT Subject Test score, go to www.collegeboard.org. It costs $14 to send your SAT score to a college.

Step 2: Send your transcript to the college.
Step 3: Send your ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Test score to the college.
Step 4: Follow up with your recommenders to make sure they submitted their letters of recommendation for you.
Colleges typically will not make a decision on your application until they receive all required documents listed above.
If you applied Early Decision, Early Action, or Priority Admission, you should receive your admission decision prior to Christmas break. Getting an acceptance letter is an exciting time. Congratulations!!! You earned it. We are very proud of you! If you receive a rejection letter, please do not take it too seriously. Keep your head up and move on. If you are Deferred or Waitlisted, you still have the possibility of gaining admission. Admission counselors will look at your application again with the Regular Decision pool and you should receive a decision by March or April. See your counselor if you are Deferred or Waitlisted. There are things we can do to help you gain admission.
If you applied for Regular Decision, you should typically find out if you were accepted within 6 to 8 weeks of submitting your application. At the latest, you should get your admission decision by March/April.
Continue to apply for scholarships. Use the following websites to conduct your search (GoingMerry.com, Fastweb.com, Niche.com, Cappex.com, ScholarshipExperts.com, bold.org).

You will not receive a financial aid package from the college(s) you applied to until you complete the FAFSA.
Your financial aid packages from the colleges you applied to should arrive in the mail/email sometime in March or April.
Compare the financial aid packages from each college. If you have any questions, or need further explanation, please see your Counselor or call the Financial Aid office at the college. Remember, you are not obligated to accept all/any of the pieces of the financial aid package. You can accept the pieces you want and turn down the pieces you do not want.
DECISION DEADLINE – MAY 1st: The time has come for you to make your final decision about the college you will be attending next year. You will need to complete paperwork and send in your deposit to accept your admission offer by May 1st. Please notify the college(s) you will not be attending as well. It is the respectful thing to do.
After you accept your admission offer, you will be able to select your housing and summer orientation date. If possible, select one of the earliest orientation dates offered. Classes tend to fill quickly at some colleges. The earlier you attend orientation, the better your chances of getting into the classes you want to take.
Complete the Senior Exit Survey in May at Brother Rice. You will do this in a computer lab during your English class. In SCOIR, update whether or not you were accepted at each college you applied to. Also in SCOIR, update which college you will be attending next year. We will use your answer to send your final transcript to your college after you graduate from Brother Rice.
Congratulations! You have completed the college selection process. We wish you the best in college. Remember to always “Act Manfully in Christ Jesus” and to work extremely hard academically. Your GPA in college will be key to gaining employment after graduating from college.
