SUMMARY:Setting Yourself Up for Success: An Overview of the U.S. College Admissions Process with Richard Montauk (ages 14–Adult)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We’ll explore what it takes to get into a top college (in the U.S. and abroad) and how best to prepare—over time—to do so. This presentation will include how different colleges evaluate applicants (in light of their offerings and missions\, as well as the composition of their applicant pools) and how you can maximize your students’ chances by helping them: \n\nAcquire strong academic credentials and demonstrate intellectual curiosity\nSelect and ace the right standardized exams\nShape their non-academic profile\nMake the most of summers and vacations\nCombat a privileged image\nDistinguish themselves in a crowded applicant pool\n\nAlthough the focus of this presentation is strategic in nature\, it will be filled with examples illustrating how to achieve each of the above efficiently and effectively. \n(Note: this is targeted to 9th \, 10th \, and 11th grade students and their parents\, not 12th graders.) Substantial time will be available at the end of the presentation for questions. \n  \nAbout Richard Montauk: Richard Montauk is the author of a series of best-selling guides\, all published by Prentice Hall\, including How to Get Into the Top Colleges and How to Get Into the Top MBA Programs.

He received a BA in literature from Brown University\, an MA in government from Harvard\, an MS in finance\, and a JD from Stanford Law School. Pursuant to a graduate fellowship\, he also studied at the London School of Economics and the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (University of London).
