Let us know if you'd like to add to the conversation of the new normal in the college admissions process, which has been radically changing in recent years. Many parents don’t fully understand what it now takes to get accepted into highly selective schools, including the Ivies, Stanford, MIT and more. We also explored this with Susan Goodkin, J.D. although this session was not taped we reviewed the following:
What you need to know and what mistakes to avoid
HS Curriculum to consider, starting in 9th grade
Testing (lots of recent changes!)
Extracurriculars (most students don’t understand how to approach them in a way that increases their admissions odds, but also makes high school more interesting and less stressful)
College application essays (including which advice from admissions officers students should ignore)
Students activity lists, and more.
