September 14 - Exploring College Options

• CCSD students and parents are invited to attend an information session on five of the country's leading universities: Duke University, Georgetown University, Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Stanford University. Representatives from the five universities will conduct brief slide presentations about their institution and answer your questions about the sometimes-mystifying world of college admissions. You will learn what distinguishes one fine university from another, what competitive colleges look for in the selection process, and what you can do to enhance your college application. We suggest arriving 15 to 20 minutes beforehand to complete the sign-in process.
