As Watershed's college counselor for the past 11 years, I've witnessed significant changes in college admissions. Today's process extends beyond traditional metrics of grades, test scores, and lists of extracurricular activities. Colleges seek distinctive individuals who will contribute positively to their community while also excelling academically. With online applications driving increased submission rates, students must find authentic ways to stand out among applicants.

From Tim's latest Thursday Note - "As returning students and families know, I often send notes to the community on Thursdays to reflect on something happening at school or beyond, to share ideas about learning and teaching in the world today, and sometimes just to share some updates. Today I write to honor a real milestone in the history of Watershed – our new campus!"
