Resources and tools for managing college admissions

[link removed]
This fall, many high school juniors and their families are starting to think about the college admissions process. As you embark on this journey, we encourage you to think critically about how you’d like to shape the conversations you have with your child. How do I support my child in finding “great fit” college options? How can I talk about college with my child in a way that aligns with our family’s values? How can I offer my child the reassurance and perspective that adulthood affords?

Don’t miss our recent blog post, “ ([link removed]) What Students Might Not Believe About the College Admissions Process, ([link removed]) ” ([link removed]) along with additional research-based resources below.

Warmly,
The Challenge Success Team

STARTING A CONVERSATION IN YOUR PARENT COMMUNITY
Bring our workshop, A Healthier Approach to College Admissions ([link removed]) , to your parent community. Many parent organizations and schools host parent events to discuss important topics, including college admissions. Some pair these discussions with outside speakers, book clubs, our college white paper ([link removed]) , or other resources.
