Navigating the College Admissions Process as a Jewish Student

About Navigating the College Admissions Process as a Jewish Student

Navigating the college admissions process can be both exciting and overwhelming. For Jewish students, questions about campus climate, safety, community, and support have become an increasingly important part of the college search. How can students identify colleges where they will feel secure, supported, and able to thrive academically and personally?

Mandee Heller Adler, founder and CEO of International College Counselors, will offer clear, practical guidance on navigating the admissions process through this lens. She will discuss how to research colleges effectively, evaluate campus culture and Jewish life, and think strategically about fit beyond rankings. Parents and students will learn what students should be focusing on now, how to strengthen applications, and how to stand out authentically in a competitive admissions landscape. Ideal for parents and students in 8th-11th grades.
