College Planning for Freshmen and Sophomores

To many freshmen and sophomores, things like the SAT, college essays, and applications seem a lifetime away. But there are other aspects of college planning that are important today. We created this virtual seminar to help freshmen and sophomores understand how what they are doing today-- like participating in their classes, getting involved in activities, and developing good habits-- will help them be more successful when they eventually apply to college.

Presented by Collegewise in partnership with Newport Beach Public Library Teen Services

Age level: High school freshmen and sophomores & parents
