DECADES OF EXPERIENCE

The CollegeBound Summit is an unprecedented opportunity to learn from the most sought-after industry experts with decades of experience who will painstakingly lift the veil of secrecy and confusion around the college application process, teach you how to find the best college fit for your student, and how to stand apart from the crowd in an extremely competitive process.





COMPETITIVE VS COMPELLING

How do colleges really view applicants? Given the short amount of time they have to review tens of thousands of applications, how in the world can they tell the difference between applicants? It’s a basic supply and demand problem — 10 to 20 times the number of super qualified and academically competitive applicants than there are spots for them. So what makes one applicant compelling enough to stand out from the crowd and be noticed? Learn what goes on in the admissions officers’ minds from a number of our speakers who themselves have spent years in that role.





DECONSTRUCT THE COLLEGE APP

Do you know what matters most, more, less and least in the college admissions process today? What classes really matter? At what challenge level? What grades are "good" grades? What is GPA? How is it calculated? How much does it matter? What else matters in college admissions? Essays? Activities? Campus Visits? Interviews? Connections? The CollegeBound Summit will help you separate fact from fiction, give you guidance to structure your teen's high school years to become the strongest applicant to college possible, and help you dispel common myths about the college admissions process.





PRESERVE YOUR SANITY

As the frenzied college application season draws to a close, and students across the country mull their choices, many colleges are trumpeting that it was the most selective year ever. The heightened competition has turned the process into a anxiety-ridden numbers game. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Learn how to get ahead without sacrificing individuality, health, happiness, ethical principles, and behavior.





DEVELOP A GAME PLAN

Success in the college admissions process is largely about having a strategy and well-thought out game plan. It’s about organizing, collecting and keeping on track throughout every step of the college prep process. Our speakers share checklists, timelines, and proven strategies for both the student and parents to eliminate stress and overwhelm, and help you navigate your way through every aspect of the college planning process.
