Are you, or a senior high school student you know, struggling to make sense of the college application process? Do questions such as “what major do I pick?”; “what is the Common App?”; or “what school do I apply to?” come up in your mind? How do you pick a school amongst the hundreds across the country and know it’s a good fit?
These questions and more will be answered in our new College Planning group. With more than two decades of combined experience of working with students, we are excited to introduce the student group starting this fall on September 7th. The group will expose students to the process of college applications as well as help them think critically about their future. We will also provide the students with resources so that they may be able to confidently proceed through college applications. We also will do individual check-ins with the students prior to the group starting and once during the month to ensure that questions are answered and students are confident about the process.
The group will meet at Elevation Christian Church in Aurora, CO on September 7, 14, 21, and 28th from 9-11:30am. Registration can be completed online here. Please note slots are limited to first come, first served.
We are excited to start the group and look forward to meeting you students soon!
