Grades 9 and 10 (parents welcome!)
Gone are the days of taking the SAT once as a junior and applying to a handful of colleges as a senior. Despite the apparent “arms race” of the college admission process, 9th and 10th graders can take concrete, common sense actions to maximize their chances of success when the college application process really begins. In this workshop, students will learn how to make the most of their freshmen and sophomore years, while staying sane and having fun. Register online or call the Reference Desk at (631) 581-9200 x 5. If registering online, please remember to put your email in the “notes” field; you will be emailed a link to view the prerecorded video at your convenience.
