College Pathways Seminar
Applying for college is a daunting process. Your family will benefit from my vast experience in the college process. I will be packing it in during the seminar! I have learned so much with helping my children and students apply to universities. Many Lee Academics’ students have benefited from my expertise in college resume building. Our students have attended Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Caltech, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Duke, Dartmouth, Cornell, Rice, Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, USC, University of Chicago, Williams College, NYU, Northwestern and other top universities. Many receive scholarship offers and are National Merit Finalists.
I will address questions about SAT test prep at the end of the presentation. Lee Academic interns may be available to answer questions about our SAT Critical Thinking Test prep course during the last half hour. I am excited to share my knowledge with your family. Next to teaching, speaking about higher education is one of my favorite things to do. I even talk to strangers about academics anywhere that I go. I look forward to working with your family on your student’s college path.
