Sunday, September 8, 3:00 p.m.
As students work their way through a tough high school curriculum, they often feel unsure about where to start the college process. PATTI BRUGMAN and JOYCE SALTER will go over each of the attributes that are most valued by college admissions officers on Sunday, September 8 at 3:00pm when they present this special program at Crowell Library. Learn how to measure what colleges want for the future freshmen classes against what is desired from a college. Learn the differences between an average applicant and an extraordinary one, and why there is a “Perfect Fit” college for everyone. This talk will give an outline of what it takes, beyond great classroom performance, to be a successful applicant to the colleges of preference.
