Altadena Public Library Presents Teen Program: “Making the Most of Your College Visits” with Ashley Sim

Monday, April 11th at 7:00 p.m. in the Barbara J. Pearson Community Room of the Main Library.

Visiting colleges effectively before applying to them is essential for success in the admissions process. Please come join Ashley Sim, former admissions officer for Caltech, as she explains how to get the most out of your college visits. She will discuss how the college visit fits into the admissions process, the types of visit opportunities offered by colleges, and how you should go about conducting them.

We are committed to providing free, informative programs that prepare community teens and their parents for their college journey.” – Teen Librarian Carrie Wilson
