How to help your child find the right college signup
Description:
Come listen to Jonake Bose talk about how to help your child find the right college (public or private) that works for your child and your family. The goal is to take the stress out of the application process and focus on schools that are the right FIT (social, academic and financial) for your child, not just those branded in US News and World Report rankings. Jonake has worked with numerous students since 2015.
She will discuss topics such as:
- Does it matter where you go to college?
- How many colleges should one apply to?
- What are the benefits of a liberal arts college vs. a public research university
- Is an A in a non-honors class better or a B in a more rigorous class?
- What factors do colleges consider when reviewing applications?
