Successfully Navigating College Admissions in 2027

We are offering this Zoom presentation to help families of high school juniors, sophomores, and freshmen better understand the college admissions process and how to successfully navigate today's rapidly changing landscape. The session will cover current college admissions trends and strategies, the evolving test-optional environment, the importance of researching and visiting colleges during the second half of the school year to find the right fit, and key timelines and action steps that can help students prepare for the admissions process with greater confidence and less stress. We will also take a close look at the holistic admissions review process, including what admissions officers value when evaluating applicants and how students can develop a compelling personal narrative that reflects their strengths, interests, character, and experiences. Another important focus will be the role of extracurricular activities, community service, and meaningful "passion projects." We will discuss how students can turn their interests and values into authentic activities that demonstrate initiative, leadership, character, and positive impact in their communities. This program is recommended for parents and their high school teens. It provides a clear and strategic overview of what students should prioritize at each stage of high school to strengthen their eventual college applications while making the process more manageable and less stressful. The presentation will be led by Ron Feuchs and Jackie Tepper, partners at Stand Out For College LLC (www.standoutforcollege.com). Please register for this event here.
