College Prep Overview We designed this two hour workshop to help parents and students get a sense of the path to college. We will show you what the college and university options are: public and private, in CA and beyond, competitive and less selective. We share with you what students need to have done by fall of senior year to reach their goals: standardized testing options, course work, interviews, etc. Our goal is that you leave with a sense of what is important to think about and what can be left behind. That way, when you get bombarded with information about college, you will have the confidence to know that you are on the right track. Workshop date and location to be announced. |
