Peter Van Buskirk : March 11, 2020
Throughout the month of March, high school seniors will learn the outcome of their college applications ranging from offers of admission to letters informing them of waitlist or denial. It's a high-emotion time for families, mixing excitement with anxiety. Your options are now clear; so, how do you go about evaluating the possibilities in order to choose the college that will best enable you to achieve your goals?
Whether you're a college applicant or that student's parent, this webinar will walk you through strategies for evaluating your enrollment options. While it is important to take time to celebrate your college acceptances, it is absolutely critical that you make time to objectively evaluate your options. Doing so can mean the difference between attending a "good" college, and attending the "best" college for you; between accumulating a reasonable amount of debt, and accumulating an unreasonable amount of debt.
Below, you'll find a high-level overview of the key topics discussed, along with the times that those topics are discussed within the video. We hope this helps you jump to the specific parts of the video that are of interest to you.
