Big changes are coming to college admissions in 2025, from test redesigns to shifts in financial aid and application expectations. Join us to learn how to succeed.

The college admissions landscape is more challenging than ever, with shifting test requirements, rising tuition, changes to the FAFSA, and increased selectivity for schools and majors. As a result, the process has become more complex, making it challenging to find the right-fit schools and apply successfully. 

  • Admission trends: increased selectivity and cost
  • New versions of ACT/SATs 
  • Federal legislation brings limits to college loans
  • How to stand out as your authentic self for admissions and scholarships
  • Right-fit and how to find it 

Join national college expert, Heidi King from College Inside Track, to learn how these changes may impact your family and learn new strategies find the best opportunity to be admitted, and to maximize scholarships and financial aid.
