About this webinar
Join Marc Zawel and Stephen Friedfeld, AcceptU’s co-founders, as they draw on 15+ years of experience working with Scarsdale families to explain how top colleges view applicants from Scarsdale High, Edgemont High and nearby independent schools — including RCDS, Horace Mann, Hackley, Masters & Fieldston — and what families can do now to help their students build a strong profile and ultimately stand out in the application process.
In this session, you will learn:
- How selective colleges evaluate applicants from Scarsdale
- What students in grades 8-11 can focus on now
- The most common missteps Scarsdale students make
- Real case studies from Scarsdale-area schools
