The admissions world is changing, both in Texas and out-of-state. Don't leave your teen's college journey to chance.

For Texas parents, the college questions can pile up quickly. How do universities actually review applications? Does auto-admit status guarantee admission to a desired major? Is applying out-of-state worth it?

You’ll Discover:

  • What Austin families should know about current admissions trends, including competition at Texas universities and those beyond the state.
  • How your teen can build a strong high school profile: academics, extracurriculars, and leadership that make a difference in admissions.
  • How to demystify the college application process, from researching colleges to crafting standout applications that give students a competitive edge.
