Who Gets In and Why?
College Admissions Workshop | Financial Aid Consulting
A few recent questions from our clients: which ones do you have?
*Is my kid doing enough volunteer hours?
*How important is "leadership?" - he doesn't have any.
*What extracurricular activities should she do? She doesn't stand out.
*He wants to drop AP Spanish. Is that OK or will it hurt his chances of getting accepted to a good college?
You might not be getting answers to these and similar questions from your guidance counselor, even if you're at a private high school. But fear not, mon ami, I've got you covered!
Tonight, you're invited to attend a new, informative workshop for parents of 9-11th graders, especially if your kiddo is gunning to get into an Ivy or other super-competitive college.
It's called "The College Admissions Edge: How to get an almost unfair advantage over tens of thousands of competitor-applicants...and win a TON of fat, juicy scholarships -- even if you think you'll never qualify for anything."
Here's a quick and dirty list of topics on tap:
How to Construct a Strategic, Balanced College List
The Politically Incorrect Truth About What it Takes to Get Accepted to an Ivy League or Highly Selective College Today
College Essay Tips and Traps
Why Would a College Accept a Kid With Lower Grades and SAT/ACT Scores, But Deny One With Higher Grades and Scores?
How to Slash College Costs by 56.1%...even if you think "No way! Families like us never get any financial assistance"
The Biggest, "Hidden In Plain Sight," Mistake College-Bound Families Make and How to Avoid It
More! Including Q&A, offered on a first-come, first-served basis
WARNING: some of the stuff gushing from my mouth will be blunt and, let's face it, not politically correct. I speak this way not to offend, but to share the truth that I've learned from more than 22 years in the trenches, advising college-bound families.
That being said, I hope you can attend tonight's (nonrefundable) free workshop, to get valuable information that you will certainly NOT hear from your guidance counselor.
