Quiet Support, Big Impact: Helping Students Build Their Best Applications

Wednesday, July 15, 2026 at 4:30 PM–5:30 PM EDT
*Margaret Morrison 103
Session Description

Counselors, you play such an impactful role in the parts of students’ applications that are out of their control! This session will provide tangible do’s and don’ts regarding school profiles, recommendation letters, and communication with admission colleagues, particularly for selective U.S. colleges and universities that employ a holistic review process. We’ll also cover best practices from both the high school and college sides and you’ll leave with practical strategies to take back to your colleagues and school teams. Most importantly, we want to hear what you’re wondering about and help dispel misinformation, so we promise to leave plenty of time for questions and valuable discussion.
