Join Stand Out For College, LLC as they present a program for High School students about college admissions trends and application strategies including the advantages and disadvantages of early decision, early action and regular decision. They will review what factors students should consider when deciding whether to submit their standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) for test-optional colleges and universities.  We’ll also discuss the different ways students can be admitted to college as many colleges have gotten creative with their admissions offers.

Participants will examine the holistic admissions review process, what admissions officers consider important when they review applicants, and how students can position themselves to develop a compelling narrative to increase their chances for admission. The goal of the program is to encourage high school juniors to use the summer productively to work on their application essays and college applications to help reduce the stress of senior year.  This presentation is also helpful for freshmen and sophomores to begin to understand what they are working toward in the college admissions process.
