Workshop 1 - Understanding the College Application Process from Beginning to End

(1) how students can create a list of "best fit" colleges,
(2) what admissions officials look for in an applicant, and
(3) what the actual college application looks like and the information it requires.
An admissions official will be present to share their thoughts and "words of wisdom" about the application process. Parents will receive a list of critical dates in the college application and financial aid process, including information on our follow-up workshop entitled "Understanding the Financial Aid Process from Beginning to End."
