Cracking College Admissions: Start Strong

Unlock the strategies that shape strong university applications. 


Navigating electives, extracurriculars, and testing timelines can often feel overwhelming and confusing, but early planning leads to stronger outcomes. At this seminar designed for students in grades 8–12, you’ll gain practical insights into how the decisions you make this fall can influence your future admissions success.

Leading the session will be Sonam Aidasani, a former senior admissions officer at Duke University. With experience reviewing nearly 10,000 applications and managing admissions for Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering, she will cover academic planning, extracurricular impact, and early testing strategy to align with the expectations of top overseas universities.

Following the presentations, there will be a Q&A session where you'll be able to ask your burning questions and get personalized advice.

Parents and students of any age are welcome to attend; those planning to apply to college within the next three years are strongly encouraged to join.
