Over the last few years, college admissions have been changing rapidly. What’s recommended, required or preferred often seems to vary year-to-year, and now with COVID-19, the colleges seem to be adjusting their policies almost daily! Join Wharton alum Laurie Kopp Weingarten as she walks us through the current state of college admissions and updates us on how to increase your chances of acceptance during this unprecedented time.
