Just for Juniors Workshop and Sophomores Shifting Gears

"Just for Juniors" workshops will be offered in March.  This workshop is designed for high school juniors who are planning to apply to four-year colleges and universities in the fall.   I will demonstrate how to search for colleges that meet your child's interests and needs, and learn to navigate college websites to find important admissions information.  We'll review the new essay prompts for the Common Application as well as essay prompts for popular colleges in Virginia.  Other topics include SAT, ACT, Advanced Placement, deadlines, and scholarships.  All of this information will better prepare students for the College Application Boot Camp offered in August 2015.
The dates for the "Just for Juniors" workshops are:
March 2
