May is the most emotionally complex month in the school counselor’s calendar. At CityPrep, we use the “Senior Countdown” framework to ensure every student crosses the finish line with their plans secured and paperwork complete.

The 30-Day Framework

Audit your tracking data and identify students at risk for summer melt. For more on preventing enrollment drops, see our guide on summer melt prevention. You can find more on senior transitions on NACAC.

Celebrate and Prepare

Host a senior celebration and collect final enrollment data. For more on college application strategy, read our post on Early Decision vs. Early Action.
