Come hear test and admissions experts from the most sought after US universities talk about the process and experience.The competition for acceptance at US universities continues to grow every year, especially among growing numbers of South and Southeast Asian applicants. Despite the popularity of "holistic" application processes, the SAT and ACT remain crucial components of most students' applications. The past year has seen major changes to both tests, changes that every student should be aware of before entering the testing room. Join Peter Kaufman (Yale '12), Director of Tutoring and Master Tutor at ArborBridge, for a full review of these updated tests and how to best prepare for them.The process of admissions can be overwhelming and intense. But what if getting into college wasn’t full of stress and anxiety? What if writing your essays was a breeze?  Luke Taylor, the founder of SparkPrep and Stanford grad, will explain how the foundation of building your admissions profile starts with early discussions of values and goals and continues through to brainstorming and revising, to the finishing touches on your application.  Generously sponsored by WorkCentral Updates tag:peatix.com,2016-05-01 04:04:09 2016-05-01 04:04:09 The event description was updated.
