Assistant Director of Admissions Dareliz conducted an Admissions 101 webinar to help students prepare for the college application process, focusing on junior and senior year preparation strategies. She discussed building a balanced college list with different types of schools (lottery, reach, target, and likely schools), considering factors like size, location, athletics, student life, academics, and extracurricular opportunities. The webinar covered application deadlines and timelines, explaining the differences between Early Decision (binding), Early Action (non-binding), Regular Decision, and rolling admissions options. Dareliz outlined the required application components including transcripts, test scores, recommendation letters, personal essays, and financial aid documentation, emphasizing the importance of starting research early and building relationships with college counselors. She provided advice on managing the application process, including creating organized tracking systems, allowing sufficient time for recommendation letters, and thoroughly proofreading all materials before submission.
