About this webinar
How can students communicate their study-away experiences and the growth that comes with them in college applications? Join AcceptU and The Island School for a practical discussion on how to connect these experiences to the college admissions process.
In this webinar, students and families will learn:
- How to identify moments that demonstrate curiosity, initiative, resilience, and personal growth
- How to incorporate study away experiences into essays, activity descriptions, and interviews
- How to move beyond describing an experience to explaining why it mattered
- How learning outside the classroom can shape college interests and goals
- How to build on new interests and commitments after returning home
