The College Admission Process

The college admission process may be complicated, but with the advice and insights from this interactive session, students and families learn how to play and win the Admission Game. In this informative, workshop, we give families, coaches, educators and attendees an “inside look into what it takes and how to be organized”. The seminar transforms the audience into an admission committee with “skits” that include the college interview, and the do’s and don’t of communicating with college coaches and admissions officers. The goal is to show “case-studies” of the process and to evaluate fictitious applicants, parents, coaches and admissions officers and how to become a top prospect for a fictitious college. In the process, participants learn the rules of the "game", discover how to deal with the hidden agenda, and gain practical tips for finding their best college fit and getting scholarships.

The College Planning Seminar has been presented to more than 100,000 people and more than 20,000 audiences worldwide since 1989.

The Comments From Seminar Participants

I wanted to let you know the seminar was very informative and made us more aware of The > College Planning Process which includes several key events, like academic > achievements, social and extracurricular activities and personal involvement.

The seminar was exceptionally informative and we liked the straightforward manner in which the information was presented. From talking to those attending, they said "It was probably a real eye-opener for some parents who thought there were a lot of full-ride soccer scholarships available!". The most valuable tip was learning how early the planning process starts > in one's high school years if playing college-level soccer is in your future. We look forward to the future workshops with all the helpful planning books and materials that will take us step-by-step through a complicated process (especially for first-timers).

Put a "feather in your caps", gentlemen! The association with The Sports Source and Tony McCall will distinguish the Cardinal organization from all others. Thanks! Helena, Bill and Alexis Victor
