About this webinar
Join Leslie, a former admissions officer at USC, Jess, a former admissions officer at Princeton, and Marc Zawel, CEO of AcceptU, for a conversation about the parent role in college admissions. This session is for parents who want to stay involved and supportive without turning every dinner into a college conversation.
In this discussion, we’ll cover:
- What parents can do right now to help, broken down by grade level
- How to talk about college without it turning into an argument
- Common mistakes parents make that can hurt a student’s admissions chances
- What to expect during application season—and how to manage the stress that comes with it
