Selective Admissions Uncovered

Selective college admissions are often misunderstood, leading students to chase perfection instead of presenting their authentic strengths. This session, presented by Chuck Liddiard, Founder & Executive Director of The Paratum Scholars, demystifies how highly selective colleges actually evaluate applications—focusing on context, contribution, and character. Students and families learn how decisions are really made, which myths to ignore, and how to approach selective admissions with clarity rather than fear.
