College Admissions Secrets for Parents & Teens

Does your child feel like applying to college is a full-time job? Have you been hearing the scary news about the Common App website crashing? Are you trying to make your child understand that focusing on the college admissions process really is more important than Xbox? Are you dreading the high school years just because of the focus on college planning?

The response was fantastic to an article in West Hartford Patch and the West Hartford News several weeks ago about “de-stressing” college admissions. Based on popular demand, CollegePrepExpress owner Michael J. Youmans, Ph.D., will provide a free valuable info-packed overview of the entire college admissions process at The Elmwood Community Center from 7 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30. This popular overview touches on tips and advice for parents and students in grades 8 through 12.

Don't miss it! The event is FREE and open to the public.
