As my seniors commit to colleges,  I'm hearing from many parents who are concerned about what their younger students should be doing -- inside and outside the classroom --  to improve their chances of getting into their top-choice colleges. 

Reduce your stress by joining me for a 90-minute online webinar: 

First Steps: What Parents of 8th, 9th and 10th Graders Need To Know Now
About Getting Into Selective Colleges

(And why you shouldn't listen to the common -- but misguided -- advice 
that will set you down the wrong path)

 Can't make it live?  All registrants will receive a recording of the webinar.
