Free College Admissions Success Workshop

Brenda Hoover, Neighbor

A free college admissions success workshop sponsored by Abington Township Public Library will be held for students and families on Monday, March 14, 2011 at 7:00 p.m.

The workshop will supplement the work of high school counselors who generally do a very good job of advising students on which colleges to apply to, but rarely can advise individual students on how to enhance their chances for success in admissions to high level colleges.  The workshop will provide tools that have proven successful in recent years for matching colleges to students’ interests, academic records, and test scores as well as providing guidance on how to best present a student to enhance admissions to Ivy League, Elite, and high level colleges and universities.

Subjects covered in the workshop include:
