D1 - ANCHOR TALK: The Adolescent Brain Goes To College: How Does It Impact The Admission Process?
Session Description
Session Description: Research has shown that the "Adolescent Brain" is a work in progress and different from a fully developed "Adult Brain". What does this mean for high school students applying to college? How does this impact their interactions with adults who manage this process and ultimately their decisions on where to attend college. This workshop will explore the impact of brain development during the teenage years and effective strategies when guiding adolescents through the college admissions process.
