The Golden Ticket to College Admissions Is Not What You Think

The Golden Ticket to College Admissions Is Not What You Think

Event Details

Shrewsbury Public Library, 609 Main St, Shrewsbury, MA, 01545

Another college application season is around the corner, and stress is already beginning to ratchet up for teens and their parents. You’re invited to join us for this must-watch talk by Irena Smith, PhD. You will hear about constructive and healthy ways to approach the college application process, preserve your relationship with your teen, and help them define success on their terms instead of chasing the elusive “golden ticket.”

Irena is a former Stanford Admissions Officer who has spent 18 years advising accomplished, tightly-wound students in Palo Alto and around the world. She saw firsthand the extreme measures parents took to help their children gain admission to highly selective colleges and the toll it took on the children as well as on their parents.

This program will take place on Zoom (Thursday, August 15th at 2:00 p.m.); please register to attend:
