Preparing for Selective Colleges (VIRTUAL)
Each year, BHCC students are accepted to some of the most selective colleges in the nation, including Boston University, Northeastern University, Tufts University, MIT, and many others. But to get accepted, students need to take steps to challenge themselves and strategically plan. Students who maintain high academic achievement are encouraged to apply to selective institutions. This workshop will focus on the first two stages of transferring - Planning and Exploring - with emphasis on increasing your competitiveness for admissions. Topics will include searching for colleges, co-curricular involvement, networking, and how to make the most of Selective College Week.
