ROAR College Admissions CASE STUDY
What is a ROAR case study?
A case study is designed to put students and families in the admissions’ counselor’s role and review three fictitious applications. This event is interactive and engaging--you'll review sample college applications and then debate with fellow participants on why the applicant should be accepted, declined or waitlisted. The college admissions panel will then tell you if the sample applicant would have been accepted to their colleges.
Why should I attend?
Students and parents will benefit by learning what students can do early on in their high school career, such as extracurricular activities, leadership roles, and community service, to make them competitive applicants to colleges and for merit-based scholarships. Participants will also learn the secrets behind college admissions processes from current college admissions representatives.

Where: CEC-Inverness 321 Inverness Dr. South, Englewood, CO 80112
