College Admissions: Demonstrated Interest, Waitlists, and the Truth About “Doing More”

Being waitlisted or deferred can feel like admissions purgatory, but it is not the end of the road. Join college admissions expert Brandon Mack as he breaks down what these decisions really mean and how they differ in the eyes of admissions offices. In this class, students and families will learn what demonstrated interest actually is, when it matters, and when it is unlikely to change an outcome, no matter how hard you try. Brandon will walk through smart, appropriate next steps, including letters of continued interest, updates, campus visits, and summer planning. You will also learn how to advocate for yourself effectively without crossing the line into overcommunication. By the end, you will have a clear, realistic plan for navigating the spring and early summer with confidence instead of guesswork.

Secrets of SAT Reading & Writing

The very elements that make the SAT tricky can become your competitive advantage if you know what to look for. And that’s good news because the “standardized” in “standardized test” means the SAT uses the same kinds of question structures, writes the same kinds of trap answers, and employs the same kinds of devices to “hide” its right answers on every test. In this class, you’ll learn exactly what to look for as we examine the secrets of SAT Reading and Writing, including: •How to recognize subtle but fatal flaws in wrong answer choices. •How to avoid the most common mistakes test-takers make. •How to pick up on clues in questions and answer choices. •And much more! Boost your SAT score and take the exam with confidence knowing the secrets and shortcuts that save time, minimize mistakes, and maximize performance.

Admissions Insight: Course & Extracurricular Planning for 7th-10th Graders

As many families discover too late, students apply to college as 12th graders–but their application includes everything they’ve accomplished since 9th grade. And in an increasingly competitive admissions environment, top-choice schools expect more AP/honors classes and extracurricular impact than ever before, meaning that the most competitive applicants thoughtfully plan their classes and activities as early as middle school so that they can fit everything in. Join veteran admissions consultant and Georgetown admissions rep Joanna Graham to break down strategies for advance planning to get the most out of your high school years, including: •Must-have STEM classes, and building a schedule that fits in all the necessary prerequisites. •How to fit AP/honors classes into 9th-10th grade schedules to avoid overwhelming workloads later on. •Planning for extracurricular leadership and impact: year-by-year strategies to find a student’s niche, demonstrate evidence of impact, and build entrepreneurial/self-guided activities. •Using summers, dual-enrollment, and other nontraditional options to fill prerequisites and challenging classes outside of a restrictive school schedule
