High School Success for Freshmen & Sophomores

Free and Collegewise event in downtown Millburn on 2/10 at 7pm

This event will cover everything you need to know to feel like you’ve already mastered high school before you’ve even conquered the driving test. It will also include useful tips on how to begin early college planning without getting stressed out!

To many freshmen and sophomores, things like the SAT, college essays, and applications seem like they’re a lifetime away. But there are other aspects of college planning that are important today. This free seminar is designed to help freshmen and sophomores understand how what they are doing now—like participating in their classes, getting involved in activities, and developing good habits—will help them to be more successful when they eventually apply to college. We will also talk about how admissions officers view freshman and sophomore year when they’re evaluating applications (spoiler alert: every year of high school counts!).

Our presenter: Rhiannon Schade is the ​Director of College Counseling at Collegewise of Millburn. She​ is a former college admissions officer and has earned her M.S.Ed. in Higher Education from the University of Pennsylvania. Rhiannon is an active member of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) as well as its New Jersey​ contingent (NJACAC).
