About the event
As students move through sophomore and junior year, many families begin thinking more seriously about college — and wondering when and how to begin. This roundtable is designed to provide clarity on the process, help families understand what truly matters, and reduce unnecessary stress by focusing on the right decisions at the right time.
The session is discussion-based rather than a formal presentation, with time for questions and conversation.
We will cover:
• What sophomores and juniors should realistically be doing now
• How the college application timeline actually unfolds
• Early Decision, Early Action, and Regular Decision — what they mean and when they make sense
