ACT/SAT Updates and Strategies for a Smarter College Search

The landscape of college admission and financial aid is constantly shifting, making it crucial for parents and students to stay informed and adapt their strategies. Changes to the college search and application process have made it more complex for families to find the right schools and get in successfully.  

  • New ACT/SAT and uncertain admission policies 
  • How to choose which test 
  • Admission trends - the selective list continues to grow
  • FAFSA and financial aid changes 
  • Right-fit and how to find it 


Join Northbrook Public Library as we partner with a national college expert, Heidi King from College Inside Track, to learn how these changes may impact your family and learn new strategies to consider to give your student the best opportunity to be admitted and maximize scholarships and financial aid.

This is essential information for parents of high school students in grades 9-11. Don’t miss it!
