In the SC Form, students are given personalized attention through individual meetings with members of the Careers department. The department members help them to draw up their own college and university lists and course options and provide each boy with a step-by-step guidance programme through every stage of the application process. They are also provided a close guidance in writing their SOPs and college admission essays and ongoing support for their CV building, work experience and SAT and ACT preparation as well as other specific additional tests required for the diverse range of courses and universities the boys apply to each year.
