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.
