P&A Spring 2015 College Counseling Classes
We are excited to announce that we will be teaching two college counseling classes at Brookline Adult and Community Education in April and May. Meet the P&A college counselors and learn how to successfully navigate the college application and athletic recruitment processes. Classes are open to the public, and high school parents are encouraged to attend. We look forward to seeing you this spring! Getting Into College: The Admissions and Application Process With over 2,000 four-year colleges in the U.S. for high school students to consider, navigating the selection and application process can be daunting. But with a bit of guidance from professionals, you can ease the process by learning to prepare and engage. In this class for parents and guardians of students in grades nine through eleven, we will discuss the steps that students and parents should be taking before the college search kicks off in eleventh grade, what do do during the application process, and common mistakes to avoid. You will leave with a list of valuable resources. April 27 7-9pm Register here. Navigating the College Athletics Recruitment Process If your child is a high school athlete looking to continue their sport in college, join us to learn about the college athletic recruitment process and how it affects the college application process. Participants will be guided through the recruitment process timeline and offered valuable insight regarding how to assess their child's potential to be successfully recruited. We will discuss NCAA recruitment procedures, eligibility, rules, deadlines, and policies, athletic-admissions rubrics including the Ivy League Academic Index, candidacy for athletic scholarships, guidance for generating film highlight packages, how to review athletic and admission offers, and more. May 13 7-9pm
