As students work their way through a tough high school
curriculum, they often feel unsure about where to start the college process. PATTI
BRUGMAN and JOYCE SALTER will go over each of the attributes that are most
valued by college admissions officers on Sunday, September 8 at 3:00pm when
they present this special program at Crowell Library. Learn how to measure
what colleges want for the future freshmen classes against what is desired from
a college. Learn the differences between
an average applicant and an extraordinary one, and why there is a “Perfect Fit”
college for everyone. This talk will give an outline of what it takes, beyond
great classroom performance, to be a successful applicant to the colleges of
preference.
