You (or your student) will soon be applying to a U.S. college. This presentation examines what you need to know to maximize chances of admission, including:
- How to get the most out of who you are, what you’ve done, and where you’re headed
- How to optimize your essays, recommendations, resume, and interviews
- How to tailor your application to each school (showing it fits you and you fit it)
Along the way, we’ll address application timing, demonstrating interest, the role of money in the process, the importance of correct positioning, estimating chances of acceptance, and much more. (We’ll also take a brief look at applying outside of the U.S.)
Substantial time will be available–during and after the presentation–for questions.
