How to Successfully Navigate College Admissions in 2022
Wednesday, January 26 at 7:00pm
We are offering this Zoom presentation to help families understand how
COVID-19 has changed the college admissions landscape and how it af-
fects Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. We will discuss the importance
of researching and visiting colleges to find schools that can be a good fit for
your child, a timeline and other actions steps that can be taken to make this
spring productive regarding the college admissions process. We’ll examine
the holistic admissions review process, what admissions officers consider
important when they review applicants, and how students can position
themselves to develop a compelling narrative to increase their chances for
admission. We will also discuss the importance of community service, how it can provide an opportunity for personal
growth and an opportunity to showcase a student’s character. Admissions officers place great emphasis on a stu-
dent’s character and how the student has been able to give back and help others, especially during these challenging
times. The presentation will be led by Ron Feuchs and Jackie Tepper, partners at Stand Out For College, LLC.
