Penn Families: Admissions Seminars--September 4 and 6

College-bound teenagers--and their parents--often can be overwhelmed by the choices and requirements of college admission. What courses are important to take in high school? How significant are extracurricular activities, essays, test scores, recommendations and interviews? The answers are right here on campus and available to Penn employees and their families, whether their children plan to apply to Penn or elsewhere.

The Undergraduate Admissions Office will host two seminars for Penn families whose teenagers are beginning the college search process. Participants can choose between Tuesday, September 4, in Benjamin Franklin Room, Houston Hall and Thursday, September 6, in College Hall, Room 200, both starting at 5:15 p.m.

The focus is on the college selection process for large and small, public and private colleges. Admissions officers will discuss what it takes to gain admission to a competitive college, how to get the most out of a campus visit, and other issues such as financial aid.

Do you have a child who is a junior or senior in high school? Do you have questions about the college admissions process? The Undergraduate Admissions Office would like to help you plan for the challenges ahead. You and your family are welcome to join us for one of these sessions.

The seminars are free, and the office requests participants to RSVP to Jennifer Sicklick at (215) 898-8587.
