Thank you everyone for attending the first part of our college workshop series! It was a huge success and we hope you learned a lot from this panel and feel more confident when approaching college applications!
All Connexpedition members past and present are invited to exclusive events and workshops throughout the year. The COVID-19 pandemic has put many of our planned events on hold, but we started the new year with a useful and informative workshop about the college application process.
The topics we covered on Sunday:
When should I start/general application timeline
Applying to public vs. private vs. community (Creating your college list)
UC Application Brief Overview (e.g. writing UC essays)
CommonApp Brief Overview (e.g. writing personal statements, short answer)
Extracurriculars/Service Hours (e.g. do they actually matter?, how to split connex hours, etc)
Letters of rec (e.g. how to ask, who to ask, etc)
Dual enrollment (courses, credits, and other tips)
AP/SAT/SAT II/ACT Scores (e.g. when to send, is it an optional requirement?, etc)
Thank you to our panelists for sharing their experiences with us! Please do not hesitate to reach out to any of the panel members if you have any further questions. Also, keep an eye out for part two of this workshop series coming soon in February.
