Over the past few years, the world of college admissions has seen substantial change. Join us at “Ask the Experts”, a panel discussion designed to help you make sense of the everevolving landscape.
You have questions, and these admissions officers have answers. Students, parents/guardians, and educators are all welcome for this highly informative session.

Topics will include:
Testing: Why are some schools moving back towards testrequired? Should your student plan to submit test scores and how do colleges evaluate applications without them?
Classes & Grades: How do honors, AP, IB, and dual enrollment classes factor into the process? Is the rigor of courses more important than grades or vice versa?
Extracurriculars: How should students use their time outside of school? Students are told to find their "passions" but how is a high school student supposed to already know what they love to do?
College Visits: When should students start thinking about campus visits? How can you use your time on campus wisely, and what can you learn from a visit that you might not be able to learn otherwise?
Essays: What are colleges looking for in students’ essays? What topics and details can make you stand out in the admissions process?

Meet the Panel:
Carol Lee Conchar, Associate Director of Undergraduate Admissions, The George Washington University.
Kenny Sawada, Associate Director of Admissions at Syracuse University
Ashley O'Cain, Assistant Director of Undergraduate Admissions, The University of Georgia
Paul Kanarek, Founder and Former CEO, Collegewise (moderator)
