Stoneham, MA, Nov. 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StudyPoint, a provider of SAT tutoring and ACT tutoring to students across the US, recently announced the addition of College Admission Webinars to the Parent Resources center on the company's website. The Webinars serve as an important resource for parents of students applying to college.
The series features admissions experts and former admissions officers from such esteemed institutions as Cornell University and Stanford University. In the free informational videos, these experts share key tips and answer questions on a wide range of topics related to the admissions process, including: how to parent your child through the process, ideas on what questions to ask during a college visit, what parents should and should not do while assisting students during the application process, and tips on choosing the college that will help the student reach his or her full potential.
A highlight of the series is a talk with Doris Davis, the former Associate Provost of Admissions at Cornell and former Dean of Admissions at Barnard, on how students can distinguish themselves in the admissions process.
StudyPoint CEO Rich Enos said the Webinars are designed to provide parents with expert insight as they enter this important rite of passage for their children.
"Not everyone belongs at Harvard, and this webinar series highlights the importance of finding the right fit for each student," said Enos. "While the series offers great information for students striving to gain admission to a top tier school, it also offers thoughts and suggestions on how to stay grounded and keep perspective during an often anxious time for families. There’s so much information to sift through, and so many colleges and universities to choose from; the aim of our College Admissions Webinar series is to provide parents with the knowledge they need to simplify the process."
