Description
The College Tea aims to prepare students during their high school years to be in the best position when applying to universities.Many high school students fail to realize just how difficult it is to get into top tier universities. Others may get accepted into their first pick, only to realize that they do not like the university and transfer. The majority of students that attend a four year university change their major at least once throughout their four years of college.​This course is perfect for anyone wanting a guide to how to get into competitive universities. Parents can purchase this course for anyone in high school, whether they are freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or seniors, this course will put each student who take it on the right path to know how to win the game of college admissions. This course will show students what universities really look for on an application. It also prepares students so that they are more sure of what they want to study and discuss strategies for the SAT and ACT, scholarships, and financial aid. My name is Teresa De Jesus and in this course I discuss everything you need to know about the university admissions process. This course teaches students everything you need to become a competitive applicant and prepare you for university. I also provide exercises to go through, templates for emails students should write to potential universities they are interested in, so that they can build a relationship before applying to the university, and supplementary pdfs that will provide additional guidance along the way. With this course you’re going to be informed, have a plan, and know how to get into the college of your dreams. So what are you waiting for? **This course is recommended for parents of high school students. Parents are encouraged to take this course along with students, so that they also gain a better understanding of the college admissions process and can be a guide throughout the process.(Please note that if you are under 18 years of age, consult with your parent or guardian, to let them know you are making this purchase.)
