By tomorrow evening, all of the colleges (except Stanford) will have released their admissions decisions.

As you might have heard from the seniors, this is turning out to be the most competitive admissions cycle to date.

This is due to two factors: colleges going test optional and the greater virtual outreach due to the pandemic.

Many colleges (including all of the Ivies) have announced that they will continue to be test optional for current juniors. Additionally, many schools have already announced that they will be test optional for the current sophomores as well.

This means that current high school juniors (and sophomores) will face a similarly challenging admissions environment.

Come join us this Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm to learn about the current admissions environment and how juniors, sophomores and even freshmen can position themselves effectively.

Parents and students are welcome.

There is no charge for this event. To register, visit the library’s website:

With record high numbers...
