Great Kids, Imperfect GPAs: College Admissions Strategies for Families

Many families overestimate how much one number determines the future. Learn how colleges really evaluate students, where strong opportunities exist, and how to help your teen move forward with confidence.

 Tuesday, October 20

 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET 

   Zoom

Showcase the college potential of your teen beyond their GPA.

Many families are led to believe that a less-than-perfect GPA can severely limit college options.

The truth is, colleges look at far more than one number, and students with imperfect grades can still earn strong outcomes, especially when families understand how to approach the process strategically.

Join Kevin McMullin, founder of Collegewise and an admissions expert with 27+ years of experience, for a practical, parent-focused webinar on how to help your student build momentum, highlight strengths, and make smart college admissions decisions from now through senior year.
