Via Zoom.
This virtual presentation will help families understand how COVID-19 has changed the college admissions landscape and how it affects Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen.
The recent college admissions cycle is highly competitive due to two factors: most colleges went test-optional due to the pandemic and colleges increased their outreach to high school students resulting in a record number of candidates applying. These record high numbers of applications resulted in record low acceptance rates.
Discover the importance of researching and visiting colleges to find schools that can be a good fit for your child and other actions steps to take this spring for a smoother college admissions process. Learn what admissions officers consider important when they review applicants, and how students can position themselves to develop a compelling narrative to increase their chances for admission.
We will also discuss the importance of community service, how it provides personal growth and an opportunity to showcase a student’s character. Admissions officers place great emphasis on a student’s character and how the student has been able to give back and help others, especially during these challenging times.
The presentation will be led by Ron Feuchs and Jackie Tepper, partners at Stand Out For College, LLC. (www.standoutforcollege.com) Please RSVP to [email protected]. You will receive a private invitation with a Zoom link in reply.
