College & Career Center Home

The College & Career Center Advisors have extensive experience at giving essay feedback to students. If any student would like to ask questions about essays or receive feedback on a college application essay, summer program essay, or scholarship essay, they can access the College & Career Advisors. Seniors who would like to submit college essays for feedback and suggestions from Mrs. Bagade and Mrs.Tang, please use this form.

The College & Career Center holds a number of workshops throughout the year. Please check the Guidance Calendar for upcoming workshops. Generally the fall workshops focus on different aspects of college applications. The January workshops give information about planning for summer. Throughout the year we also host outside speakers who typically present information on their program or college. 

Students are welcome to make an appointment with one of the College & Career Advisors to get help with their college or career planning. Please stop by the College & Career Center to schedule an appointment.

Diversity Fly-In Programs for Rising Seniors. Did you know that many universities sponsor fall trips for seniors to visit their campuses? Many of these programs even offer airfare! These fly-in programs are directed to students from underrepresented cultural backgrounds such as African American, Latino American, some Asian Americans (Pacific Islanders, Filipinos, Vietnamese, and others), Native Americans, and First-Generation students (first in your family to attend college). Some colleges consider any Asian ethnicity to be eligible. Sign-ups and applications are typically due by the end of August or earlier.  A few go as late as September. This is the current list of diversity fly-in programs and the link will be updated each spring.

Each fall, college representatives visit Lynbrook to share information about their institution. This year visits will be held in person and, as usual, are for students only. Attending the presentations can be highly informative for students as they build their college list; most sessions will allocate time for questions and answers. Students, please check Naviance for the dates and times of scheduled visits.

FUHSD hosts an annual college fair to assist families in their college planning efforts. The fair is typically in the fall and held at Homestead High School.

In addition, visit the NACAC tips for attending a college fair to to learn how to make the most of a college fair and to register for local community fairs, if available.
