I use this slide, as an alternative to the slide, "Pieces to the College-Planning Puzzle." I begin with the question, "What are some of things that college-bound students should be concerned with?" The answers are typically, extracurricular activities, academics, financial aid, etc.
This slide illustrates the many pieces that students must focus on as part of a comprehensive college-bound plan to be a competitive candidate for college admissions and to receive scholarships.
