College & Career Center
Academy of Holy Angels students benefit from having an outstanding College and Career program. It begins with two dedicated full-time counselors with over 58 years of combined experience from both sides of the college admissions spectrum: each has worked in college admissions and now at AHA advising students and families to make informed decisions about college and career plans. AHA parents and students rave about the guidance, expertise, and support they received beginning in 9th grade until graduation. Here are some of the highlights of our services.
Freshman Year
The College and Career Counselors meet individually with each student and his or her family to discuss course planning for high school and steps that will guide them throughout their journey at AHA. The Freshman Family Meeting is scheduled during the first or second trimester of the freshmen year. This meeting helps students and parents understand what each student should be registering to take each year of their time at AHA, as well as how to be prepared for their future.
College and Career Counselors meet in a classroom setting to discuss and administer a personality/career assessment titled StrengthsExplorer. This program will match a student's strengths and interests to potential careers and college majors. We also offer other career assessment resources titled Career Interest Profiler and Personality that takes into account a student's career interests and personality to match them to particular careers using John Holland's Codes of Career Interest and the Myers Briggs Type Indicators. Students are also invited to attend our Career Speakers throughout the year in the College and Career Center. We have AHA alumni, parents and friends that come back to discuss careers of interest with our students.
Sophomore Year
College and Career Counselors meet in a classroom setting to discuss and administer a personality/career assessment titled StrengthsExplorer. This program will match a student's strengths and interests to potential careers and college majors. We also offer other career assessment resources titled Career Interest Profiler and Personality that takes into account a student's career interests and personality to match them to particular careers using John Holland's Codes of Career Interest and the Myers Briggs Type Indicators. Students are also invited to attend our Career Speakers throughout the year in the College and Career Center. We have AHA alumni, parents and friends that come back to discuss careers of interest with our students.
In the fall, 我们提供了一个名为, College Planning Night, where we offer a variety of college speakers in different topics. Students and parents can choose to attend the sessions that are most valuable to them: financing college, highly selective college admission, large public schools, Catholic colleges, etc. Sophomore students and their parents will have their own Sophomore College Night where we outline the college and career plan for our students junior through senior year. It helps parents and students understand all the resources available to them before they need them. We find that our families really appreciate the information in advance. In April of the sophomore year, we host a college fair in conjunction with St. Thomas Academy and Visitation School where we have about 120 colleges from across the country available to answer questions from our students and parents. We invite all sophomores and their parents to this event.
Junior Year
Families meet individually with their College and Career Counselor during the winter and spring of their junior year to discuss post-secondary planning. Juniors also participate in annual events such as College Planning Night, Financial Aid Night, and AHA’s college fair. Jumpstart Your College Planning Day is a required, full day event for juniors that features a different college planning topic session each hour of the school day instead of their normal courses. They are also required to complete a college planning portfolio that includes a college essay, resume of activities, college search activity, a job shadow or interview and more. This portfolio will help them be ready for all the information they are required to provide for their college applications. Our goal is to help students be a little less stressed in the fall application season of their senior year.
Senior Year
The College Counselors meet individually with students to discuss post-secondary planning and they work with the students to help them understand the college application process. Counselors assist students and parents through the college application, financial aid, scholarship, and making the college choice decision.
Technology
The Academy of Holy Angels provides a comprehensive college and career planning Web tool, Naviance, to each student. In this Web site, 学生可以研究大学, apply to colleges and request their transcripts for their college applications. Students will also be able to get personality and career information individual to them. It also includes an embedded online ACT and SAT test preparation program. This has been a valuable resource for our students and families and they are excited about gaining valuable college admission information at their fingertips.
College Representatives
We welcome college representatives to our college and career center during the academic school year. 我们现在使用代表访问. 招生顾问点击 HERE to schedule an appointment with our high school. If you have any problems scheduling a visit with this system, please contact Mary Kelly at mkelly@ahastars.org.
Student Reminders
Seniors, Class of 2024
- Don't forget to write thank you notes to those individuals that write you letters of recommendation. This is an important part of the process. Teachers are not required to write letters of recommendation, they do so to help you in your application process. They are not paid extra for the extra time they spend writing letters. Remember, their letters helped you achieve your college options. Writing a thank you note is considered a required part of this process.
- The college counselors will send your transcripts to the college you indicated you are applying to through the request process in your Naviance account. We process transcript requests on a date received order. In the fall, we typically process around 1000 different transcript packets for our students. We require your transcript request be submitted at least two weeks before your deadline to assure we will have time to submit it to your college before your deadline.
- Remember most colleges this year are test optional, which means you do not need to have an ACT or SAT. However, you need to check every college website to see if they do have test requirements, as although many colleges are test optional, it is not every one. Some colleges may require test scores for specific academic programs or merit scholarships. It is important to look up every college of interest to determine if you need a score. If you reported your scores on an application, they may require an official report sent from ACT before you enroll. If you need an official report, you will need to order that from act.org. If you have questions, please see your counselor.
- Most importantly, it is imperative to keep up your academic work throughout your senior year. A final transcript will be sent to the college you choose to attend. Your acceptance to any college is contingent on completing the courses you indicated you were taking your senior year and continuing a strong level of work. The colleges can (and will) rescind admission if you do not perform up to your initial application. Also, remember if there are any changes to your schedule, those need to be discussed with the colleges to which you have been admitted. The colleges are assuming you are completing all the courses you told them you were registered to take this year. If you have questions, please see your college counselor.
If you took any classes or are planning to take any classes this year for PACC credit through St. Mary’s University of Minnesota and you want to get credit for college, you need to have your PACC transcript sent to the college you are attending. Some colleges may also request it as a part of your admission application. 以下是他们的信息:
How do I request my Saint Mary's transcript?
Current students and alumni may request transcripts through the 全国学生信息菠菜网lol正规平台, a secure and confidential website. Transcripts can be sent directly to you or a third party by US mail or electronically. Each transcript is $5.00, payable by credit or debit card. Additional features of online ordering include order tracking, updates, 以及成绩单申请记录.
Once the college you choose receives the final transcript, they will review and determine if they will award college credit for the coursework.
As always, your college counselors are here to discuss additional college options, financial aid, scholarship searches, etc. If you have questions, contact them!
Juniors, Class of 2025
If you have not yet visited any colleges, we strongly recommend getting on a couple of campuses this year. (Of course, colleges all have extensive virtual information options as well.) It is always beneficial to visit colleges when they are in session, if this is possible. Look at your calendar to see when you might have a couple of days to do some local visits. You can find the colleges' phone numbers in the college profile pages in your Naviance account. Otherwise, most colleges will have visit information right on their websites. They want you to visit so they try to make it as easy as possible for you.
If you are planning to take the ACT this year, the next available test date is February 10. The deadline to register is Friday, January 5. Register as soon as you are able as many test centers will be closed before the deadline. You definitely want to register as soon as possible. You can register for the test at www.act.org. Remember you also have access to an online test prep program (Methodize Prep) in your Naviance account. If you have ANY problems getting registered in this program, contact Mrs. Proctor网址:tproctor@ahastars.奥格和她会帮助你的. Our students that have used it have found it really helpful. It is difficult to know how many colleges will continue their test optional policies for your class. This is something we will need to continue to watch throughout the year.
Keep reading the Daily Bulletin for college and career speaker events that are happening in person and virtually at school and through college campuses. Take advantage of these informational sessions!
二年级,2026届
In February, you will complete a career and personality assessment in homeroom, called Strengths Explorer. We will have a meeting in March to discuss the results and how to access more information in Naviance. This assessment will give you ideas on your strengths, how to improve your strengths and what careers may be of interest to you based on your strengths. The system gives you lots of information on a particular career (pay, education required, etc.), college majors that might relate to that specific career and colleges that offer that major. It is an all-inclusive report that can assist you as you think about potential job, major and college options in the future. This spring, we also invited you to attend our Sophomore Student and Parent College Planning Meeting on April 9 and our annual college fair on April 16.
Students, remember to update your resume in Naviance to keep track of all your activities and community service for the year and that you have a four year plan to assist with registration.
Freshmen, Class of 2027
Ms. Kjorstad and Mrs. Proctor are excited to meet you in the College and Career Center this year.
Remember this is the first year in building your file for college. This year does count in your grades and information we send to colleges. Continue to do your best academically and get involved in your school or community. All of these things are important.
Later this year, we will be working on career possibilities. You will complete a career assessment and we encourage you to watch for career speakers throughout the year in the College and Career Center. You can sign up for any career speaker of interest in the CCC with your college counselor or with the parent volunteer. Career and College speakers are open to freshmen. Always feel free to see you college counselor with any questions.

关于AP和PACC的建议
Advice from your College Counselors regarding Advanced Placement and/or PACC Credits
Advanced Placement (AP): Advanced Placement exams are administered by the College Board and graded on a 1-5 scale. In order to receive college credit for your AP exams, you will direct the College Board to send your scores to the college you decide to attend. Most colleges have a list of AP courses they will accept and the score required to obtain credit and these are usually on their website. Most schools require a 4 or 5 to receive college credit though some colleges will also give credit for a score of 3. As you visit colleges, be prepared to ask the Admission Counselor about how your AP classes might transfer. In some cases, the AP course might meet a curriculum requirement at the college or may count as elective credit. You can contact colleges NOW to find out how your AP scores might transfer to their school.
At an Information Session presented by Georgetown, Harvard, Penn, Duke and Stanford, the admission representatives indicated that whether a college accepts the credit or not, the expectation at highly selective schools is that students have taken AP courses 以及相应的测试 because these are the best ways to prepare for the rigors of the freshman year in college.
PACC Credit through Saint Mary’s University, MN: The Program for Advanced College Credit (PACC) at Saint Mary’s University offers college courses taught at Academy of Holy Angels. 期望是一样的, workload, learning activities, projects, and exams as the courses taught to first-year students at Saint Mary's University.
If you take a course for PACC credit, you will need to request Saint Mary’s University send a transcript to the college you decide to attend. In most cases, the college will review the transcript and determine what, if any, credit they will award for the course. You can call the college to inquire how they might handle your PACC credit but most colleges handle this on a case by case basis and likely will not be able to tell you immediately if you will get credit for the class.
Here is more information from the Saint Mary’s University website: Colleges and universities can recognize coursework taken at other institutions in several ways. Based on the student's transcript, which is proof that he or she has completed college coursework, institutions can transfer the credit hours into a student's program of study, reducing the number of courses the student has to complete on campus to graduate.
They can also offer the student the option of using transferred courses to gain exemption from specific course requirements. These might include courses that fulfill distribution or general education requirements, 写作入门课程, and courses required within a major or minor course of study.
Finally, colleges and universities can allow the student to use transfer courses to fulfill prerequisite course requirements for more advanced study by granting placement in a higher level of a course sequence. All of these forms of recognition may be granted individually or in combination.
Please be aware that some colleges may transfer not only the class/credit you receive from Saint Mary’s to your program of study at their college, but also will transfer the grade into your college GPA. Be aware you want to do your best possible academically in these courses, if you are trying to gain credit for PACC at your college of choice.
