 Developing a Game Plan for College

Come discover the twelve strengths and experiences that colleges look for in their applicants. Learn the secrets and strategies of students who have successfully navigated this complex college process from an expert who has reviewed applications for freshman enrollment at SMU and UCLA. Uncover practical ways that students can be distinguished from a plethora of bright, talented, and exceptional high school applicants. Parents and students are encouraged to attend this must-see program on Monday, November 5th, at 7:00 P.M. in the Shepton High School Presentation Room, sponsored by the Shepton PTSA. Prepare to be enlightened, on how to get into college by Marilyn Kaufman, M.Ed., a certified college consultant, President of College Admission Consultants, one of twenty-five college counselors who serves on The Princeton Review’s National College Counselor Advisory Board, and the parent of a Shepton alumni. Preparing for college does not have to be stressful or filled with angst; it can be a positive and extraordinary opportunity for young adults to gain self-awareness and responsibility while developing self-motivation and strong communication skills. Timelines will be provided of what necessary steps need to be taken and when in order for parents and students to be well prepared for the college process. We hope to see you there!
