What We Wish College Admissions Officers Knew:
High School Student Panel
Description:
Do students really read their emails? Are school visits worth it? Should a 500-word Honors Program essay be required? A panel of Wichita Collegiate School students will help answer these questions and more as they share their unique perspective of the college process. Students will highlight what they wish admissions would have known about their process, what would they suggest changing, and what was most helpful. Seniors who have just gone through their college process will provide insight on concerns and questions that arose, their workload regarding college essays and requirements, and their honest feedback on how colleges can better recruit students. Sasha Kuchinski, Associate Director of College Counseling, will moderate the panel and facilitate audience questions as well. Geared toward college admissions professionals this session can be insightful to other high school counselors as well.
