US Admissions Workshop: Highly Selective Colleges

Thursday, 16 April, 04.00pm-05.30pm, Bayanihan Hall, Creative Arts Centre, British School Manila

In their first visit to the Philippines since 2017, representatives from Claremont McKenna College, Bates College, Colgate University, and Haverford College will share insights with students, families, and counsellors. The session will explore what defines a liberal arts education, how these institutions differ, and the qualities they seek in applicants. Attendees will also take part in an interactive admissions case study workshop, offering a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how decisions are made at highly selective US universities.

For any students or families of students in Years 10-12 planning to apply to the USA, this workshop will be invaluable.
