About this course:
What does the college admissions landscape look like for future students? How has it changed after the cancellation of affirmative action? Why are some colleges reverting back to standardized test scores? We turn to author, popular speaker and former dean of admission at Franklin & Marshall College, Peter Van Buskirk, for the answers. Join Cyndy and Peter as they engage in a frank conversation exploring future college admissions practices. Peter will introduce a student centered approach to finding the right colleges to apply to. This includes five elements of a "best fit" parents, students and counselors can use to help students find the place best suited for them after high school graduation.
