U.S. College Application Calendar
College application season is right around the corner!
There’s a lot to keep track of when you’re applying to college. Your child can use this calendar to get an overview of the college application process and its important deadlines.
It is only a general guide and does not apply to all colleges. Consult application materials, admission offices and institution websites for the specific requirements and deadlines for each college.

The revised 2011-12 version of the Common Application will go live on August 1.

Tough Challenge, But We Never Gave Up!
The VYCS’s first Invitational Charity Golf Tournament was a resounding success!
Participants enjoyed a day out on the links under a clear blue sky with warm breezes that added to the atmosphere of comradarie and competition amongst the avid golfers.
Golfers partook of drinks, snacks, and a wonderful dinner after the clubs were put away for the day. They played games and entered competitions at different holes and spent the day laughing, meeting new friends, and getting plenty of fresh air and sunshine.
Students were kept busy at the registration tables selling Mulligan tickets to golfers wanting an additional chance to drive a ball. One of the highlights of the day was the students selling over 2000 raffle tickets during the event, getting everyone very excited to donate, and then thrilling them when they won a prize later in the evening. The event raised $10,267.99 in generous donations, far exceeding their initial goal of $6,000.
