Are you trying to figure out which colleges are the right fit for your student -- but feeling overwhelmed by rankings, social media advice, and information overload?
This free workshop, led by former Harvard Admissions Officer Nathalie Galindo, will give families practical tools to research colleges with confidence. You'll learn how to evaluate online advice critically, understand what makes schools genuinely different from each other, and build a real picture of a school -- even if you can't visit in person.
What we'll cover:
How to spot unreliable college advice online --and where to find trustworthy information
What data actually matters when comparing schools
How to research a college system like the University of California --where the name is the same but the schools are very different
