입학 경쟁률은 갈수록 높아지고 총 25만불에 달하는 비용이 드는 대학 선택에 있어 ‘어느 대학에, 왜 가야 하는 가?’, ‘수 천명의 다른 지원자들 중 어떻게 차별화 할 것인 가?’ 는 학생과 부모님들에게 너무 중요한 질문 입니다. 좋은 학교 성적, 높은 SAT 점수, 기타 활동 리스트를 가지고 상위 랭킹 대학에 지원하는 것만으로 충분하지 않습니다. 자신에 대한 이해와 미래에 대한 폭넓은 관점과 준비가 필요한 때입니다.
이를 위해, KCC 한인 동포 회관과 自tek 이 함께 진행하는 이번 워크샵은 자녀에게 맞는 최고의 대학에 지원하고 선택할 수 있도록 보다 넓은 기회와 관점, 지원 전략에 대해 부모와 자녀가 함께 생각해 볼 수 있는 중요한 기회입니다.
일정: 2018년 12월 19일 (수) 저녁 7시 – 8시 30분
참여비: 무료
참여 대상: 대학 진학에 관심있는 중고등학생 자녀와 부모

워크샵 주제 **영어로 진행됩니다**
• Self-knowledge matters more than ever: Good Grades and Scores are no longer good enough – but either are lots of extracurriculars. “Character,” “creativity,” depth of commitment to extracurricular subjects and a coherent narrative about the student’s unique personality and interests matter more than most applicants understand; therefore: self-knowledge matters more than ever.
• where your student might best fit in and flourish: How to think about which colleges to apply to, how they are different, and where your student might best fit in and flourish (big vs small; public vs private; university vs college; liberal arts vs pre-professional; Ivy vs non-Ivy).
• Implications from a recent case: What the recent lawsuits about Ivy League admissions reveal about the process that students and parents need to understand.
• Different paths to success in the complex American economy: What are the different paths to success in the complex American economy, and how is the American college application process so different from most other countries?
• Q&A session
