Life Transition Series Presents: College Selections & Admissions Day-long Workshop Who: This workshop is designed with the 10th and 11th grader in mind. However, Freshman who are curious about life after high school and for Seniors who are either struggling with what to do after high school, will find this a meaningful day, too. What Am I going to get out of this workshop? This workshop is a more in depth meeting based on our 90 minutes workshop with the same title. The high school student will be challenged to make an action plan and set academic goals that will greatly enhance the student’s position when applying to colleges. Also, we’ll explore the wide variety of post high school options to meet life goals by looking at differing career and trends. We believe that this will encourage excellence in high school. The students will practice filling out college applications, role-play the college interview, review our College Visit Checklist and insights on how to relate to College Admissions Officers.
