Register Now

Grades and test scores open the door, but they’re not the whole story. Join Collegewise on Thursday, October 16 at 12:00 PM PT/3:00 PM ET to discover how your student can truly shine when colleges look at the whole picture.

Truly successful applicants need to look beyond just grades.

Whether your student is a junior about to apply or an underclassman just starting to think about college, Collegewise has you covered. Join Hanifa Abdul Sabur, two-time Ivy League graduate and Collegewise counselor who has helped over 1,000 students find their best-fit universities, for an insider’s guide to what admissions officers are really looking for.

 

In this session, she’ll cover:

  • Why grades and test scores aren’t always the most important parts of an application

  • How admissions officers evaluate the whole student through essays, activities, and character

  • Why one bad grade isn’t the end of the road - and how to bounce back stronger

  • Actionable strategies to help your student stand out with a well-rounded application

 

Cut through the noise and learn from Collegewise’s 26+ years of admissions experience in this can’t-miss webinar. Bonus: we'll be answering all of your admissions questions with a live Q&A!
