Talks on Preparing for College

By |

Whether you’re a student or parent, join us at Darien Library for a two-part series on preparing for college. At 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 13, we will host Kristin M. White, college admissions consultant and author, for a lecture on “Building the College Application List.” Join Kristin as we discuss the early part of the college admissions process- the development of the college application list. There is more to it than just finding a good fit academically. Students should include colleges that are financial fits, a good social match, and most importantly, colleges where they are competitive in the admissions or merit scholarship process.
