College admissions have changed—quietly, quickly, and not in students’ favor.

In this timely webinar, we’ll break down the most important shifts happening right now in college admissions and what they mean for families navigating an increasingly competitive landscape. Whether your student is applying soon or still a few years away, understanding these changes early can make a critical difference.

We’ll cover:

• Early trends in flagship state university admissions, including schools like University of Texas at Austin and University of Michigan

• How colleges’ focus on “protecting yield” is influencing who gets admitted

• What families misunderstand most about test-optional policies—and how colleges actually view test scores

• Why course rigor is increasingly more important than GPA alone

• What juniors and sophomores should be doing now to avoid being shut out later

This session is designed to give parents clarity, context, and practical guidance—so you can make informed decisions and stay ahead of the changes instead of reacting to them too late.
