2022-09-07 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
In today’s competitive college landscape, it’s important for students to find ways to stand out. They need a strategic plan of action to rise above the competition— and it can all start this school year (way before Senior year!).
While developing an admissions plan can seem complicated and overwhelming for families, it doesn’t have to be stressful. Educational Connections Founder and President Ann Dolin is here to help.
During this virtual event, your family will learn:
✔ Ways the college admissions process has changed since Covid
✔ How planning ahead gives younger students an edge and reduces stress during junior and senior year
✔ Today’s role of standardized testing, upcoming changes to the SAT, and when your student should start preparing
✔ Why college admissions officers care about the high school courses your student selects each year
