Have you ever wondered what it really takes to get into a school like Harvard? While this seminar alone will not get students into Harvard (if it could, we’d need a LOT more seats), we will tell you how schools like the Ivy Leagues, Stanford, Northwestern and the rest of the nation’s most selective colleges make decisions from pools full of the most qualified applicants. We’ll explain what those admitted students do to set themselves apart from the rest of the applicant pool, and we’ll reveal some strategies to improve a student’s chances of admission. We don’t think the most selective schools are necessarily the best for everyone, but they are the right choices for some students and we think this seminar can help our students make even better college planning decisions. This seminar is FREE, but reservations are required to attend.
Many great kids write average (even bad) college essays – essays about “Life Lessons Learned from Football” or “How My Trip to Europe Broadened My Cultural Horizons.”
Better tales are there for the essay. This workshop will show you what admissions officers really look for in great college essays, and offer suggestions for finding and sharing your best stories. This seminar is FREE, but reservations are required to attend. Presented by Collegewise — the largest independent college counseling company in the U.S.
