Join Harvard ‘93 classmates Wendy Chang and Dominique Padurano for an open-ended discussion of college admissions today inspired by Jeff Selingo’s Dream School. You do NOT need to have read the book to join us and other loving yet concerned parents to learn, laugh, and share. February 1, 6pm, EST. Register here or by clicking the image above.
“Dr. P has a real depth and breadth of knowledge and experience in the field of college admissions. Her presentations, articles, and newsletters have helped me to be a better resource for my students!”
“My children just attended one of Dr. P’s workshops at our local public library. They learned a lot through the role play part of the workshop. I would definitely have them take one of her classes again.”
“Dr. P is a fantastic resource! Her knowledge base seems endless, and she knows how to break it down into terminology all ages can understand! Her presentations are always well received at my library.”
