SUMMARY:The College Admission Edge\, Part 1: Building a Great List
DESCRIPTION:A good college list is about more than just your GPA and test scores. It’s about finding the right schools for you—academically\, socially\, and financially. It’s a crucial step that can mean the difference between a great college experience and a mountain of student debt. \nIn part one of our two-part series\, The College Admission Edge\, we’ll help you and your student cut through the noise and build a college list with confidence. We’ll demystify the college search process by exploring the current admission landscape\, which operates much like a business. We’ll give you a new way to think about how colleges decide who to admit\, how much they’re willing to pay for you\, and how to spot a “likely admit” for your student. \nIn this essential webinar\, you’ll learn how to: \n\nMove beyond “brand names” and build a college list that is a great fit for your student’s unique needs and goals.\nUnderstand what colleges are really looking for\, including key trends in admissions and how colleges use data to build a class.\nSave thousands of dollars by learning how to identify which colleges are likely to give you the most “free money.”\nAvoid common mistakes like misinterpreting “demonstrated interest” and wasting time on schools that aren’t a good fit.\nNavigate college visits effectively to get a true sense of the campus culture and whether it’s the right place for you.\n\nCan’t make the live session? No worries! All registrants will be emailed a copy of the webinar recording and slide deck the next day. \nRESERVE YOUR SPOT NOW
