Class of 2022

Interested in spending a gap year studying in the UK? The English-Speaking Union is proud to announce applications are being accepted for the 2022-2023 ESU Secondary School Exchange Scholarship.
Please update Scoir with the colleges you are interested in. For schools to which you know you will be applying, be sure to move the school from “Following” to “Applying” in your Scoir account and notify your counselor.
Please continue to work on completing the Common Application. If you have questions, refer to our Common Application Instructions.
Please see the College Virtual Visits Calendar located on the College Counseling page (scroll down) of the AOF website for a listing of virtual college visits. These meetings are for students only. The rules for attending are as follows:
- Seniors and PGs may miss class but not a quiz, test, or lab.
- Please notify your college counselor of your intention to attend so we can communicate with the representative.
- Juniors are encouraged to attend during a free period. They may not miss class.
Counselors will continue to meet with students to discuss their admission plans and any changes to their college lists.

Testing

Although the majority of colleges have waived requirements for applicants to submit standardized testing results (SAT or ACT) for this admission cycle, we understand that some students want the option to take them if their test scores might bolster their applications, if athletic recruiting will require them, or if they will help in applying for merit scholarships.

Following are the options for the SAT and ACT administrations at AOF.

November 6 SAT: Registration deadline October 8. Late registration (fee required) is October 26.
December 4 SAT: Registration deadline November 4. Late registration (fee required) November 23.
December 11: ACT. Registration deadline November 5th. Late registration (fee required) November 19.
