We are offering this Zoom presentation to help high school juniors and their parents understand how to use the upcoming summer productively to create a compelling college application.

We will cover the college application process, including current admissions trends, writing the personal statement and supplemental essays, securing strong teacher recommendations, and understanding how students can position themselves to increase their chances of admission.

We will also explore why a student’s ability to express insights, experiences, and personal growth through their essays is more important than ever.

Our presentation will include application strategies, such as the advantages and disadvantages of early decision, early action, and regular decision. We will review the factors students should consider when deciding whether to submit standardized test scores for test optional colleges and universities. We will also explain the different pathways through which students can be admitted to a particular school.

We will examine the holistic admissions review process, what admissions officers consider important when evaluating applicants, and how students can develop a compelling narrative that strengthens their applications.
