Great Kids without Great GPAs
Join Collegewise's Founder and Chief Education Officer, Kevin McMullin, on Tuesday, March 17 at 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET for an insightful session on how students can stand out in college admissions even without a perfect GPA.
Ideal for families with students in grades 8-11!
Your student is more than their GPA, and colleges understand that.
It is easy to believe that without straight A’s, the most meaningful college opportunities are off the table. But that assumption overlooks how admissions really work.
Colleges are not building classes of perfect transcripts. They are building communities of students who show initiative, resilience, and curiosity. When those qualities are identified and presented with intention, students with less-than-perfect grades are not only competitive, they stand out.
Join us for an engaging session focused on what GPA really means in today’s admissions process and how parents can guide their teens toward their strongest and most competitive college options.
With more than 26 years of experience guiding thousands of students, we will share:
- A clear, grade-by-grade plan from 9th through 12th grade so you know exactly what to prioritize and when
- How to choose courses and activities that reflect genuine strengths and interests
- Practical ways students can demonstrate character, curiosity, and leadership beyond their transcript
🔒 Register now to better understand how colleges evaluate GPA and discover practical strategies for success!
