Hi everyone, I'm currently an undergraduate student who really enjoys being outdoors and spending time with friends. I love painting and reading as well as STEM-related subjects. But ultimately, I am here to help future college students in their journey with the college admissions process since it can be pretty confusing and overwhelming without a form of guidance. So, I am very excited to help all of you along the admissions process!

What you'll do

Learn how to evaluate colleges across key factors like academics, campus life, location, and cost to find your best matches

Use online tools and resources to research schools thoroughly, looking beyond rankings to discover what makes each unique

Create a balanced list of reach, target, and safety schools that align with your academic profile and preferences

Develop strategies for exploring colleges through virtual tours, campus visits, and conversations with students and staff

✋ 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.

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.
