Bay Area families! Join Collegewise Founder, Kevin McMullin, in person on Tuesday, June 10th, 2025, at 7:00 PM PT at the Los Altos Community Center to learn how students can maximize their time in high school and impress admissions officers at the most sought-after colleges. 

 

In-person seminar ideal for families with teens in grades 7-11!

Two students. Nearly identical grades, test scores, and activities. One gets into Stanford. The other doesn’t. Why?

With thousands of applications flooding in, it takes more than top grades and test scores to stand out. Especially when coming from a region as competitive as the Bay Area. So, what really catches the eye of an admissions officer? 

 

In this exclusive seminar, Collegewise Founder, Kevin McMullin, will take 25 years of admissions experience and bring it to families, sharing key strategies and tips that take college applications to the next level. 

 

You'll discover:

  • Insights on how your teen can maximize their time in high school
  • Tips and tools to elevate any extracurricular activity
  • What admissions officers value most (and what matters less than you think!)
  • What current admission trends mean for students' acceptance chances
