For many students struggling through high school closures and rapid changes to their postsecondary plans, there has been one overriding theme during the last six months: uncertainty. Instead of savoring familiar traditions and farewells, they faced months of upheaval that tossed around every aspect of their lives during a period that should have instead been focused on excitement about the next stage. Added to that, they are looking ahead to an uncertain future in college and perhaps even long-term in the world beyond that. COVID-19 is taking a mental toll on students as they plan for college. In this article, college admission counselors share how connections can ease uncertainty.
