Differentiate Yourself: Standing Out In College Admissions

FREE WEBINAR: Sunday, July 21st at 8 PM – 9:30PM EST

College admissions get increasingly more competitive every year with accept rates plummeting. No longer are grades and test scores the only determinant to getting accepted to elite schools. Admissions officers are now looking for more ways to better understand applicants. The personal statement and the supplement essays, the activities list, letters of recommendations, and others give those who decide a fuller view of who they would be accepting.

At my free webinar, I will explains how applicants can differentiate themselves from tens of thousands of other applicants with similar profiles. I’ll discuss:

How your choice of school and major, original essays, the all important and totally underestimated activities list can help you rise above the crowd and make admissions officers take notice.

By the end of the webinar, attendees will have a better idea about how to present themselves to admissions officers.
