College Quest: Starting the College Selection Journey (Oct. 8, 2025)

It can feel like colleges and universities have all the control: they decide whether you get in and how much you must pay.

College Quest helps you take control of the admissions process. YOU decide which colleges are worth your time, energy, and money.

Designed for high schoolers and their caregivers, College Quest unveils the factors involved in choosing the right college for you. In this workshop, you will learn:

  • How to find out a school’s values

  • How to identify your non-negotiables for your future college or university

  • How to determine your family’s likely cost at different schools

  • How to tell how your academic record matches against those of a school’s recent admitted students

  • How to organize your search

Each attendee will receive a College Quest workbook full of resources and exercises we will work through together. The workbook becomes your roadmap for finding your perfect schools.

By the end of College Quest Workshop, you will have created a clearer understanding of the college factors that matter most to you and built a foundation for family conversations about future goals and choices.
