Free Webinar: College Planning 101

Start Strong, Stay Ahead. College admissions isn’t just a senior year problem, it starts now!

Families who begin planning early have more options, less stress, and greater confidence navigating the process. Whether your student is in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade, this interactive session will help you build a strong foundation and take control of the college journey.

We’ll discuss:

• How to build a competitive profile step by step

• When (and how) to start the college essay

• Smart ways to approach test planning and class selection

• Summer experiences that help—not hurt—applications

• How admissions officers evaluate applicants

🗣️ This is a live and interactive session, presenters will take questions throughout. Registrants are encouraged to submit questions in advance to get personalized insight.

📌 Best attended as a parent-student team, it’s never too early to plan with purpose.
