Roadmap to College: Admissions Planning for 9th, 10th and 11th Graders

College admissions is a holistic journey. We'll help you plan ahead!

High school students apply to college during the fall of senior year, but the foundation of admissions success starts much earlier. The classes you take during 9th, 10th and 11th grade, and the grades you earn, will determine the overall arc of your high school academic career. Your high school track record, in turn, will determine your admissibility to your desired colleges and programs. In addition, colleges are more interested than ever in the depth and breadth of students' extracurricular activites and community involvement. How do you pursue your passions and establish yourself as a leader in your areas of interest? And, what does "college" even mean for you? With over 4000 colleges to choose from in the US, and the most competitive admissions landscape we've ever seen, how do you find the best fit for you and make yourself stand out from the crowd?

We're excited to welcome college admissions guru Diane Campbell to answer these questions and more.

This small-group workshop is designed for rising 9th, 10th and 11th graders and will dive deep into essential college planning strategy:

• Understand types of colleges and your potential best fits
• Begin your college list
• Map the arc of your high school courses
• Explore potential majors and careers
• Create your college portfolio
• Start building your activities resume for college admission and scholarships

Our goal for this workshop is to help students see the college admissions process as the natural extension of their high school journey. With some forethought and planning, college-bound students can understand the full path in front of them and take some of the stress out of a successful college admissions journey.
