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.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss more than one session over the four weeks, as that will negatively affect your learning and may also take up a spot from another learner who could have attended every session. You are allowed one unexcused absence in this program before you may be removed from the series. 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.

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.
