Learning Modules
Let’s face it, sitting through a lengthy information video about specific college topics isn’t always ideal. Each of our modules is broken into chunks so that you can choose to bite off a little or a lot, depending on your time and interest level. Our Activities Learning Module for the University of California and the Common Application is now available.
Application Workshops
Virtual application workshops for the Common Application and the UC application will be in August and September and covers tips and key information for completing the application. Choose one from the multiple dates and times. The 2-hour workshop will be specific to the student’s high school academic schedule (semester, quarter, trimester). A maximum of 10 students per workshop. Register and pay via our SHOP page.
Essay Brainstorming
The most difficult piece of the college essay process is getting started. Students can brainstorm with us through a Virtual Family Discussion. If further assistance is needed for feedback, editing or revising, we will be happy to share a resource.
