Understanding the Highly Selective College Admissions Process
Date: Wednesday, April 26

Students benefit from attending highly selective colleges and universities because they tend to offer more resources, better financial packages and have higher graduation rates. However, the process of applying and getting accepted into these schools is complex and students must be well prepared in different areas. This session, presented by the College of the Holy Cross, will provide a better understanding of the highly selective college admissions process.
