College Planning in the Mid 2020's - What you need to know now
2024-04-17 19:00 - 20:00
For Teens in Grades 9 – 11 & their Parents.

The college process has been undergoing massive changes since the pandemic. Colleges are test-optional, test-blind, test-mandatory. Students are being asked to defer a semester or study at another campus. Increased applications have led to more unpredictability and volatility, especially as students refuse to think outside the box.

In this presentation, Alan Sheptin, CEP, will discuss what to expect in the next few years, and provide some ways to think cleverly about applying to college. Before our presentation, you may want to read his comments in a recent article from Westchester magazine.

Please register your family members below.
