In a must-watch talk, Irena Smith, PhD, author of the memoir The Golden Ticket: A Life in College Admissions Essays, will discuss healthy ways to approach the college application process and help your teen define success instead of chasing the elusive “golden ticket.”
A former Stanford Admissions Officer, Smith saw firsthand the extreme measures parents took to help their children gain admission to highly selective colleges and the toll it took on the children as well as their parents. At the same time, Smith’s own children struggled but she kept her double life–successful college counselor at work, anxious mom at home–tightly under wraps for years until a stunning realization: she was exactly like the anxious parents of the students she worked with, all of whom were equally terrified about their children's future.
During this 2:00pm virtual program taking place Thursday, August 15, Smith will share the personal and professional experiences that prompted her to write The Golden Ticket, as well as offer healthy and constructive ways to approach the college application process, preserve your relationship with your teen, and help them define success on their terms.
With another college application right around the corner, register for this virtual program and learn how to help you–and your children–approach the application process. |
