This 60-minute workshop will empower you to take control of the
college admissions process. You will learn about best practices, key deadlines
and how to help your child succeed.
First, we explain how to determine the right
path for each student and how to maximize their potential of getting into
their preferred school. We discuss how to create a strong college list, and we
give insight into the essays and other admissions requirements.
We help you understand the landscape of
college payment options such as financial aid, loans and savings. You will
learn how to minimize your potential out-of-pocket costs and how to navigate
merit- vs. need-based aid. We review EFC and FAFSA, and how to evaluate
financial aid award packages (which can be tricky).
First, we review how to make a successful
transition to college and offer tips to help prepare. Next, we go over
strategies for building a solid resume and landing good internships throughout
college. Last, we discuss career planning, choosing the right major and what to
look for in a school.
