About

Hello everyone! My name is Arwa and I am an incoming freshman at Northwestern University majoring in Neuroscience and Spanish! Feel free to join this series focused on helping you understand the college application process and demystifying the entire experience. Can't wait to meet you all :DD

  • 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

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.
