March 18 only!

As I'm sure you're well aware, the college application process is COMPETITIVE... VERY COMPETITIVE. With Colleges boasting about RECORD LEVELS of APPLICATIONS (again), schools that you may have once called 'Safe' are now Iffy... at best. Add to this the reality that roughly 92% of applicants have nearly identical grades and test scores, and the fact that your application will receive on average 12 minutes of consideration, you have to be wondering how anyone can distinguish themselves from the pack? The key is to have a compelling, interesting AND authentic story to tell about yourself. And the key to doing that is to involve yourself in contextually relevant, MEANINGFUL experiences OUTSIDE of the classroom.
 This webinar will discuss two of the leading co-curricular and student leadership opportunities available and how students have utilized their off-season experiences to stand out from an increasingly crowded admissions field!

This program is appropriate for parents of college-bound high school students in 9-11th grade AND their loving children!! See below for specific topics we'll be covering.
