- Students interested in attending college, especially 4-year institutions, are encouraged to take the SAT exam.
- Students have opportunities to attend college fairs and visit various NYC based colleges/universities.
- Admissions presentations from CUNY, SUNY, and private institutions are offered at the school.
- College Admissions and financial aid nights are offered for all students.
- Students receive individualized assistance for developing personal statement college essays.
- Students and parents receive individualized financial aid counseling regarding FAFSA, TAP, and federal loans
