This 90-minute webinar will cover a wide range of topics including:
- What really matters to colleges -- and what doesn't
- Mistakes to avoid when choosing classes
- SAT, ACT, PSAT and Subject Tests -- what parents need to know early (but often don't!)
- What it takes to get into selective colleges -- admissions are a different world than when you applied, parents!
- Why the standard advice about building a strong college resume is wrong
- Why thinking outside the box -- and outside of a student's high school -- is critical to planning extracurriculars
- Secrets for how students can build a great resume while still having time to sleep and play -- and without parents spending a fortune!
- The right -- and wrong -- question you should ask your student when starting to think about colleges
- Tips on searching for scholarships starting now -- there are plenty of scholarships for 9th and 10th graders!
