CAMPOLINDO PARENTS CLUB BOOK DISCUSSION Who is ready for “an antidote to the college admissions mania”? Who would like to gain valuable perspectives and insights on college admissions? Parents of freshman and sophomores, do you think it is too early to broach this topic? Think again! The Campolindo Parents Club Book Group will meet to discuss Frank Bruni’s 2015 groundbreaker, Where You Go Is Not Who You’ll Be, and the recently released Who Gets In And Why, A Year Inside College Admissions, by Jeffrey Selingo. Stay tuned for more information on the exact date and time, but in the meantime, start reading and learn how to manage the process instead of letting it manage you.
