College Lists in Naviance: Which One to Use When?
There are two College lists in Naviance: Colleges I’m Thinking About and Colleges I’m Applying To
- Colleges I’m Thinking About: this list is the best section for underclassmen and rising seniors to work in prior to the start of their senior year. Students can add as many colleges to this list as they like. After the school year starts, for all of the colleges on this list, you will receive an email notification if/when that college admissions counselor is visiting Jackson-Reed.
- Colleges I’m Applying To: this list is to be used by seniors after the start of their senior year, when a student is very sure about the list of colleges they would like to apply to and are ready to request that transcripts be sent.
