Join Ron Feuchs and Jackie Tepper, partners at Stand Out For College, LLC for a Zoom presentation to help families understand how COVID-19 has changed the college admissions landscape and how it will affect juniors, sophomores and freshmen. This program covers how admissions officers are handling the current situation and how students can position themselves to develop a compelling narrative to increase their chances for admission.

This recent college admissions cycle has turned out to be the most competitive to date. Most colleges went test-optional due to the pandemic and colleges increased their virtual outreach to high school students, resulting in a record number of candidates applying. With record high numbers of applications come record low acceptance rates at many popular colleges and universities. As many colleges have announced that they will continue to be test-optional at least in the short term, applicants will face a similarly challenging admissions environment.

The holistic admissions review process will be discussed with a focus on the greater consideration admissions officers are giving to extracurricular activities and the impact of more than a year of remote/hybrid learning.
