(Virtual) UPDATE: College Admissions, the Holistic Review Process and Community Service in the time of COVID-19
2020-07-29 19:00 - 20:00
For Parents and Teens.
We are offering this update to our Zoom presentation for families on how the college admissions landscape is changing due to COVID-19 and what impact it will have on rising Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores.
The college admissions process is undergoing significant and lasting changes as many colleges and universities have gone test optional.
This means that admissions officers will give more weight to college essays, extracurricular activities, teacher recommendations and community service projects when they review applications as part of the holistic review process.
This program covers how admissions officers are handling the current situation and how students can position themselves to develop a compelling narrative to stand out and increase their chances for admission.

The presentation will be led by Ron Feuchs and Jackie Tepper of Stand Out For College, LLC.
Please RSVP to ron@standoutforcollege.com. You will receive a private invitation with a Zoom link in reply.
