An Inside Look at U.S. Highly Selective Admissions

What goes into an admissions decision at a highly selective college or university in the U.S.? This engaging workshop with an Ivy League admissions officer gives you an inside look into the admissions committee room, exploring the many factors that guide an admissions office as it admits a class. 

Students and parents will learn about the following:

• Types of universities/colleges in the U.S.
• Admissions & Financial Aid Lingo (Early Decision vs. Early Action vs. Regular Decision)
• What is a highly selective school and why should I consider applying?
• How to approach the process
• Financial aid case studies - the differences among grants, loans and scholarships
• Committee discussion at Penn and other selective colleges in the U.S.
• Tips for the road

Directions to the University of Toronto Schools can be found here.

Matt Pohl, Associate Director of Admissions at the University of Pennsylvania, will be conducting this presentation.
