Join Collegewise on Thursday, June 1 at 4:30 PM PDT to hear how parents can be the support system their teen needs during the college application process.

The college admissions process can be a daunting and stressful time for students and their families. With so much at stake, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and anxious. But the good news is that there are effective ways to manage stress and take care of your mental health during this challenging period.

In this session, we'll discuss practical strategies for finding balance and maintaining mental wellness during the college admissions process. Our expert panel will share insights and tips for managing stress, staying positive, and taking care of your mental health.

Families will learn:

• How to identify and manage stress triggers
• Strategies for maintaining a positive mindset
• Time management tips and timelines to consider
• Ways to communicate with your family and support system
• And more!

Grades, test scores, and impressive activities alone won't get a student admitted to schools that reject almost all their applicants. While we don't believe that prestigious colleges are necessarily better colleges, we want students who are interested in these schools to have straight answers about what it will really take to have a shot at getting admitted.

On June, 13, at 5:00 pm ET, join Collegewise counselor, Jennifer Turano, in this highly selective college deep dive and learn all there is to know about the most sought-after schools in the US.
