About this Webinar
Have questions about college admissions but not sure where to start? This webinar gives freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and their families the chance to hear directly from former Admissions Officer Samuel Day and get answers to the questions that matter most.

We’ll cover how admissions officers evaluate students, what to prioritize at each stage of high school, how grades, course rigor, extracurriculars, testing, and essays factor into admissions decisions, and what students can do now to prepare for a strong application later. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask your own questions about the college admissions process.

Whether college feels years away or like applications are quickly approaching, this session will help students and families better understand what to expect and make more informed decisions along the way.
