Featured presenter, Kathy Pesta from Penn State Wilkes- Barre campus, will be speaking on the financial aid process, con- cluding with a question and an- swer session which has been very helpful to our parents and stu- dents who have attended past pre- sentations. Financial and infor- mation materials will be available. (LX J It's time to discover another fact of life. A college will decide whether it likes you in one way, and one way only: by reading about you. You can have an exuberant, charming personality that makes people like you the instant they meet you. You can wear a smile every waking hour. But unless that personality and smile comes through when a college admission officer reads about you, it won't help your chances of being ac- cepted to the college. Most of what the admission of- ficer reads will be words on paper --0r on a computer screen - that has been submitted by you. They are words, and a few numbers, on SER 2 2 X POIs: the bundle of pages you lovingly prepared and submitted as your college application. True, the ad- mission officer also will have notes from your interview last spring when you displayed that charm- ing personality. But when deci- sion times comes, he'll be reading those notes, too. Reading is an admission officer's number one job. Your number one job now as you prepare your application, is to convince him that his college wants you. You don’t have much of a choice on when to apply. The colleges set their time frames for considering applications and you either meet their schedules or get left out. But depending on the college, you may have a choice on how to apply. More colleges each year allow you to perform the task on a computer . screen instead of on paper. The best time to apply depends on the colleges to which you're applying, and the admission sys- tems they use. If a school has a firm, published application dead- line, be sure that your application gets there by the deadline. Tardi- ness is not a desirable trait. Most deadlines are in January or Feb- DM students walk for Diabetes On a recent October Sunday over 50 students from the Dallas Middle School participated in the American Diabetes Association’s “Walk for Diabetes.” The walkathon course circled Harveys Lake and the Dallas students raised $2,500 for the ADA. The walk was promoted by the Dallas Middle School Student Council as one of their annual projects. Ms. Norine M. Amesbury is the faculty advisor to the student council. Pictured are six students who solicited the highest money pledges for the walkathon. Kneeling: Kevin Spangenberg and John Arthur.

Some dead- lines are as early as mid-Decem- ber. Here's something toremember. At least 99 percent of college ap- plicants in the United States wait for the deadlines to send their stuff. You're going to help your cause by ‘submitting your appli- cation a few weeks early, before the mailbags start piling up on an admission officer's desk.
