For parents of college-bound students, or those who may or will be, the Emerson Universalist Unitarian congregation is holding a workshop on Sunday afternoon.
It’s titled “Beyond the Numbers: Demystifying the College Admissions Process,” and it starts at 2 p.m. Emerson UU is located at 4010 Canton Road.
The speaker is Carol Conchar, Regional Director, Undergraduate Admissions, George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Carol lives in Atlanta and serves GW throughout the Southeast and is an Emerson congregant.
Here’s more from what Emerson has sent out about the workshop, which is free and open to the public:
The goal of all admissions offices is to build a community among its student body through the careful and thorough application review process. At competitive colleges and universities, admissions committees take more than the GPA, SAT/ACT and class rank into consideration. This highly interactive session will examine how admissions decisions are made so students can identify a “good fit” and to help them have a better understanding of the college search and admissions decision process. Come and learn how that is done when admissions committees look “beyond the numbers.”
