NAVIGATING THE MOST CHALLENGING COLLEGE ADMISSIONS ENVIRONMENT
Tuesday, May 25, 7:00 pm
Via Zoom. For Adults & Teens.

This college admissions cycle is the most competitive to date. Most colleges went test-optional due to the pandemic and increased their virtual outreach to high school students – resulting in a record number of candidates applying. With record high numbers of applications come record low acceptance rates at many popular colleges and universities.

Many colleges will continue to be test-optional for students applying in the fall of 2021 and possibly beyond, so current juniors and sophomores will be facing a similarly challenging admissions environment.

This program will cover the holistic admissions review process and focus on the greater consideration admissions officers are giving to extracurricular activities and application essays.
