Parents and students of Da Vinci High School, join Collegewise on Thursday, April 16 at 5:30 PM PST for a comprehensive overview of college applications - and how juniors can get ahead in the process. 

Is your junior making the most of their time before senior year?

As a parent with a high school junior, the college admissions process can feel overwhelming. From understanding what colleges really look for to keeping stress levels manageable, parents often have more questions than answers - and that’s where Collegewise comes in.

 

Join us for an informative session led by Collegewise counselor Ian Parker. Ian brings a deep background and expertise in academic coaching and the current college admissions landscape. He'll take you through:

 

  • What admissions officers value in applications

  • How to supercharge your summer break after junior year

  • Where to begin when exploring schools and finding resources that help with selection
  • Common misconceptions and mistakes families and junior high school students should avoid

 

This event will be held in-person at Da Vinci Science High School, 201 N. Douglas Street El Segundo, CA 90245.
