Welcome to Berkshire's College Counseling Blog. Check back for regular updates on the college admission process, important dates, and tips from our office. If you have any questions, please email collegeoffice@berkshireschool.org.
The College Counseling Office and the entire Berkshire community are deeply disappointed that you will not be returning to campus during these last eight weeks of your Fifth-Form year. However, as mentioned in our correspondence over spring break, this period of distance learning does contain a lot of unique opportunities for our office to work closely with you and your families in preparation for your senior year.
The entire University of California system removed many of the testing requirements and adjusted how they consider non-letter grades for admission for the upcoming application year, in response to the dramatically shifting setting in secondary education.
