Getting in without Freaking out - College Prep and Admission Experts Panel
SOLD OUT
The college admissions landscape has changed dramatically in recent years.
With many more outstanding students competing, no longer is the "well-rounded" student assured top choice. Testing has also changed, with new test choices and the newer SAT, while college costs spiral into the stratosphere. How can families best help their children get in to the college of their dreams, finding the right fit and managing to pay for it?
The Brown Club in New York is proud to present a special program for alumni and their families featuring a stellar panel of experts in the college admissions process who will demystify these issues and tasks for students and their parents. Panelists will also respond to individual questions from the audience during a Q & A session following.
Our panel's goal is to give you concrete suggestions – as well as thought-provoking ideas – that will help your teens achieve smart, timely college prep and make all-round wise college choices. This is a terrific opportunity to get answers to your questions from a range of top advisors in college prep and admissions.
