The college admissions process has become increasingly competitive; however students who understand their strengths and focus on communicating their story in a compelling way will have a clear advantage in the admission process.

The Westfield Parent Teacher Council-Gifted Education Committee is planning a special workshop designed to help students prepare for the college application process.

The seminar will take place at 7:30 p.m. on March 10 in the Westfield High School Cafeteria B.

This interactive seminar, open to both students and parents, will introduce The College Application Wheel™ to help students figure out how to communicate key themes and unique story.

Guest speakers will walk students through several case studies of how applicants crafted their story, and how they successfully communicated it to colleges through their application.

There will be plenty of time to ask questions and start thinking about crafting a unique story.

Presentations will be made by the following guest speakers: Lisa Bleich, President, College Bound Mentor and Author of “Surviving the College Application Process,” and Beth Cassie, Independent Educational Consultant, College Bound Mentor.
