1.College Bound Essentials:

  • Date 01/17/2025 | Time: 10-12 PM
  • Location: Zoom

As the name implies, this workshop is an essential session for any college-bound student who wants to get the best admission opportunities and secure the highest scholarships possible. The  workshop is geared to (rising) freshmen and sophomores who want a deep dive into what to do,  when, and how best to do it, in order to structure the 4years of High School and build confidence in  the student and families.

Topics the class will cover:

● How to stand out in high school but not burn out.
● How just one standardized test on a specific day can guarantee dozens of full rides.
● How to strategically pick courses that will work best for the student.
● How & why Ivy leagues and elite colleges are often less expensive than a state school
● How to find a student’s best college fits- public vs private, faith-based vs secular, etc.
● How to have a great college tour & get the most from it.
● When and how often to take the SAT or ACT (and how to boost scores).

We Encourage students to take “ownership” of this process, to be proactive, organized, and  engaged in all that lies ahead!
