Event Summary 

It's Back-to-School season! Ivy Experience leaders — Penn alumni Eric Karlan and Jordan Holmes, along with National Test Prep Association board member Jim Wismer — are back to provide a punchy, 45-minute presentation on all the key items that any informed parent should know for this year's college admissions landscape. Join the Wharton Club of Houston as we explore trends and observations from last year's unprecedented college admissions cycle, and how to ensure your students start the year off right! This event is free for all - just RSVP!

It's barely 2 months into the new school year, and already, plenty of questions are already swirling around courses, grades, activities, the SAT and ACT, and so much more. For parents of seniors who have urgent questions about the application process, please feel free to email [email protected] and attach in the subject line "WCH". 

For everyone else, tune into this lunchtime live webinar that will cover the latest in college admissions trends and updates, and setting your families up for fulfillment and success in the coming months! Please RSVP here and a link will be sent to you before the event.
