Webinar by College Admissions Author
 Upcoming free live webinar, "The Future of College Admissions," presented by Jeff Selingo, best-selling author, engaging speaker, and college admissions expert, on Tuesday, December 8, at 7 pm. Mr. Selingo immersed himself in the world of college admissions for a year to answer a question on the minds of many high school students and parents alike: How do colleges select their freshman class? The result is his latest book, a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice, Who Gets In and Why: A Year Inside College Admissions. In his presentation, Mr. Selingo will dispel entrenched notions of how to compete and win at the college admissions game, reveal why families have much to gain by broadening their notion of what qualifies as a "good college," and explain how the pandemic is impacting college admissions. The session will wrap up with a Q&A. Please share this information with your high school community. Participants may register by clicking on this link: The Future of College Admissions. To submit questions for the webinar in advance, click here.
