In this one-hour, virtual workshop for rising 12th graders, students will learn how to complete basic information sections in the Common Application. Guided by Dr. Jenny Deren, students will also explore their own values and purpose in applying to college, along with strategies for conveying those in their college applications. The session includes instruction, expert tips, and time for individual application work and Q&A.
Registered participants will receive an email with the Google Meet link and recommended pre-work, including links to written and video material from the AXS Companion to Common App. To maximize participation in the workshop, students should complete pre-work before the session, but this is not required or necessary for attending. Students may use pre-work after the session to complete or expand on session goals.
