Simulating theApplication Review Process
Wednesday, April 29th
4:00pm PST/7:00pm EST
Join us as we simulate what it's like to evaluate a college application. We will share our screen with you, allowing you to follow along as we read through each section of a mock application and share our thoughts live. We will identify areas of strength and weakness, point to aspects of the application that colleges usually pay attention to, and provide context on why certain pieces are or are not important to consider. The goal is for families to see what things colleges might be looking for and what their thought process is when making decisions.
