College Bound: Scholar Seminar Program
Designed by a college admissions expert and educator, The Application Specialist devised this 6-week and 4-week Scholar Seminar program to enable Rising Sophomores (class of ‘28) and Rising Juniors (class of ‘27) to dive deeper into STEM and Social Science topics; cultivate and develop critical and interdisciplinary thinking, essay writing, and problem-solving skills; as well as enhance their college admissions chances.
It is not sufficient to just say you want to study/major in “biology” on your college application. What about biology? What specific topics interest you and why? What have you done to pursue this specific interest? The College Bound: Scholar Seminar Program helps high school students answer these questions and prepares them to present their answers in their application essays.
