June 27 - July 3, 2009: College Admissions Preparation Week
Sponsored by Scheduling, Events and Conferences

To choose the right college, you must have access to a wealth of information and be prepared to answer a variety of tough questions such as:

  • Do you know how to evaluate and choose from all the opportunities available to you?
  • Do you know how to make the most of your college experience, whether at a private college or a state university?
  • Do you know when it would be beneficial to attend a community college, then transfer to a four-year college?
  • Do you know where to find information on financial aid and scholarships, and learn effective techniques for applying for them?
  • Do you know where to seek guidance on filling out applications?
  • Do you know the "why" behind the college entrance essay and other components of the application process?
  • Do you know who can explain the benefits of living on campus and offer advice on saving money and improving the residence life experience?
  • Do you know how to best prepare for the SAT exam?

College 101 provides answers to these questions and all the others you have on your list. Join us June 27 - July 3, 2009, to make connections with experts who teach you about the resources you need to make the right educational choices.

College 101 is an educational and fun week of college admission preparation for high school sophomores, juniors and seniors interested in attending college.
