Series Details

About

This College Admissions Workshop on The Application is a virtual 2-week workshop that will provide you with information and support to submit your college applications.

In this workshop, you will:
  • Learn the purpose of each part of the application
  • Understand how and when to apply and strategies to consider when making your plan
  • Complete drafts of frequently required parts of the application, such as lists of activities & experiences, and honors & awards
  • Work alongside other students who are also preparing to apply to college.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss more than one session over the two weeks, as that will negatively affect your learning and may also take up a spot from another learner who could have attended every session. If you reach two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from this series.

Note from Schoolhouse: This series has sessions with required attendance. If you need to miss a required session, submit an absence using the "Submit Excused Absence" button on the series page. Multiple unexcused absences may lead to a suspension of your Schoolhouse account.
