Main Points of Class

•    The college application is a tool to assess a student's character.
•    A student writes his application by what he does over the next three years.  Freshman year matters.
•    Review a college application in detail and help students see what is being asked of them during the next four years (e.g., grades received during freshman year matter; character development also matters -- teacher and counselor evaluations are effectively an assessment of a student's character).

Out-of-class work

•    Review college application and teacher evaluation forms; discuss with mentor areas for personal improvement.
•    Discuss and complete mentor worksheet.
•    Review class subjects he is taking; discuss with mentor choosing challenging courses for sophomore year; set academic goals (e.g. goal for his GPA).
