The college admissions process can be a source of stress and anxiety for students and parents/caregivers alike. This research-based workshop addresses many of the important questions we hear from families, such as: What do college rankings really measure? Are students who attend more selective colleges better off later in life? What is “fit” and why does it matter? Participants will learn practical strategies to help reduce unnecessary pressure around the college admissions process and ways to support their student’s overall well-being and readiness for life in college and beyond.
