About this Webinar
Just like sports, the college admissions journey requires strategy, focus, and preparation. In this webinar, former Yale student athlete and admissions expert, Mariko Rooks, will explain each stage of the process and how students can approach college applications with confidence.

Participants will learn how to build a strong academic and extracurricular profile, create a balanced college list, craft authentic essays that showcase personal strengths, and understand the role of recommendations, interviews, and deadlines.

This session will provide Hurricane Junior Golf Tour and NCSA students and their families with the tools to stay on course and successfully navigate the path from high school to college.

    Mariko Rooks
    Yale '21
    Hello! My name is Mariko and I graduated from Yale University's five year BA/MPH program in 2022 with undergraduate degrees in the History of Public Health and Ethnicity, Race, and Migration and a Masters in Public Health in Social and Behavioral Sciences with a concentration in U.S. Racial Health Justice. I deeply valued my college experience and I hope to help others find the same transformative opportunities through helping you through your college process!

    Outside of the classroom, I was an All-American nominated water polo player who conducted historical research on medicine and the slave trade and worked at both Yale's Afro-American and Asian American Cultural Centers. I was accepted regular decision with a "likely" letter and was a recruited two-sport athlete in high school.

    Now, I'm back home in Southern California continuing my work in health equity, directing diversity initiatives for USA Water Polo and continuing research at Yale.
