The first major application deadlines are imminent.
One highlight last week was Application Bootcamp II.
I invited seniors to join me at Cafe Evoke to work on college applications.
Bring your lap top or iPad.
Order a coffee drink.
And let's work on applications!
We had almost 20 students show up.
It was such a fun three hours looking over student applications to colleges all over the United States.

Have a great week.
