Getting In: A College Coach Conversation

Thursday at 1 PM Pacific

November 24th 2016: Encore: Do I Have a Chance of Getting into an Ivy League College?, School's Out Application Workshop, Quirky Scholarships

We’ll also discuss more about putting together a college list, including how to factor finances into that process, as part of our ongoing School’s Out Application Workshop series, and explore the world of quirky scholarships.
