The College Admission Edge, Part 1: Building a Great List
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.
In 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.
In this essential webinar, you’ll learn how to:
- Move beyond “brand names” and build a college list that is a great fit for your student’s unique needs and goals.
- Understand what colleges are really looking for, including key trends in admissions and how colleges use data to build a class.
- Save thousands of dollars by learning how to identify which colleges are likely to give you the most “free money.”
- Avoid common mistakes like misinterpreting “demonstrated interest” and wasting time on schools that aren’t a good fit.
- Navigate college visits effectively to get a true sense of the campus culture and whether it’s the right place for you.
