Register Now

Join Collegewise's CEO on Monday, November 3 at 12:00 PM PT / 3:00 PM ET to learn how you can help your teen build the skills that competitive colleges look for beyond grades and test scores.

 

This event is ideal for parents with teens in grades 7-11. 

What tips the scales between acceptance and rejection when every applicant has top grades and test scores?

Beyond strong profiles, selective colleges want to see students who are organized, focused, and resilient. People who can take initiative and follow through on commitments.

These executive functioning skills, deeply embedded in daily habits, are rarely taught in schools. Yet they are the very qualities that consistently distinguish remarkable applicants from the rest.

So where should your family start?

Join Collegewise’s CEO, Anjali Bhatia, as she illuminates the essential (and often underestimated) habits that sustain academic achievement and elevate college applications. 

 

💡 You’ll discover:

  • What universities are truly prioritizing in today’s competitive landscape
  • Why executive functioning skills are the most overlooked yet enduring differentiator in selective admissions
  • How top-performing students deliberately cultivate these habits, and how your teen can begin developing them now
