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.
﻿
Your workshop combines the benefits of peer collaboration within a larger cohort of 30 students with the guidance of a trained high school peer tutor who recently completed their own college application process. This creates a unique learning environment where you can gather insights from both your peers and a relatable mentor who understands firsthand what you're going through. Your trained peer tutor will facilitate meaningful group discussions while sharing their personal strategies for success.

Repeated unexcused absences from required sessions may result in suspension from the Schoolhouse platform.

If you must miss a session, please submit an excused absence on your series page.
