Admission Insights Weekend

Learn more about the college admission process from experts, parents and current students! This program is designed as an educational benefit for alumni families with students entering their junior or senior year of high school. Practice your skills in topical workshops, ask questions of expert panelists and experience the decision process through the eyes of an admission professional in a mock committee exercise. This event is intended for informational purposes, and attendance has no bearing on admission to William & Mary.
