College Preparation Presentation at Glencoe Library

Join Ravinia College Consultants next on Wednesday, February 12th at 7:30 pm at the Glencoe Public Library, 320 Park Avenue when we present:

COLLEGE ON THE HORIZON: WHAT 8TH-11TH GRADERS NEED TO KNOW

Long before you fill out actual college applications, you lay the groundwork for what your applications can contain. Sandra Gilbert and Pat Cannon of Ravinia College Consulting return to the library for a program geared toward students looking to take a strategic, long view of the admissions process. Subjects covered will include the importance of knowing one's strengths and weaknesses, academic balance, and the extra-curricular activities, work and/or family obligations that demonstrate commitment and leadership. Year-by-year suggestions for the best way to prepare for college, what colleges are looking for, and examples of pitfalls to avoid will be included. Students and parents are welcome!
