College Guidance One Tweet at a Time

GA's class of 2014 has had some college application help from Twitter in the form of Tweets posted by college counselors Susan Merrill and Kendra Grinnage who have been using the social networking tool to remind students about key points in their application process. Grinnage reports having a lot of fun with Twitter noting that it's a light hearted way to keep students on task at a time when their concerns about the process are at an all time high.  Below are a few of the Tweets Grinnage and Merrill have posted this fall.
