Join Collegewise's Founder and Chief Education Officer, Kevin McMullin, live in Miami, FL on Wednesday, February 5th at 7:00 PM EST! Learn how your teen can strategically approach the application process and set themselves up for success when applying to the nation’s most selective colleges.

Why do some students with similar backgrounds have such different admissions outcomes?

(Hint: there's no secret sauce, just a lot of real strategy!)

Selective schools like the Ivy League, MIT, and Stanford aren't the right fit for everyone.

If your teen is aiming for competitive universities, it takes more than strong test scores and high GPAs. These  universities look for compelling, authentic students who stand out and make a difference.

Join Kevin IN PERSON as he'll show you what actually happens inside highly selective college admissions. 

You'll discover:

• The impact of shifting admission rates on your teen’s chances of acceptance—and how to approach these changes with confidence.
• What college admissions officers value most (and what they might overlook) to help your teen stand out authentically.
• Ways to highlight your teen’s unique strengths to make a lasting impression on application readers.
  
  

When: Wednesday, February 5th at 7:00pm 

Where: Pinecrest Gardens, Inspiration Center, 11000 Red Road, Pinecrest, FL 33156

 Join Collegewise's former admission officers on Tuesday, February 11 at 5:00 PM PT / 8:00 PM ET to explore how your teens can better position themselves as they prepare to apply to America’s most selective schools.

Why do some students with so much in common end up with such different admissions results?
