The college admissions process is often treated like a marathon where the finish line is the "Big Envelope." But what happens when the celebration ends and the reality of campus life begins? When we view acceptance as the end goal, we overlook the value of the four years that follow. The transition from applying to attending is the most pivotal period in a student’s life, yet most students arrive on campus without a clear blueprint for success.

In this webinar, Dr. Carley Nuzzo, Elite College Advisor and Founder of College Success Programs at ESM Prep, will share the habits and strategies that help students succeed during their first year of college. Drawing on her experience mentoring students and teaching at the university level, she will explain what incoming freshmen should know before their first semester begins.

You’ll learn:

• The biggest academic and time-management challenges freshmen face
• Proactive to take over the summer to prepare for the transition
• The importance of strategizing course selection in that first year
• When and how students should seek academic support
• How to balance critical co-curriculars with "freshman-entry" preference or rigorous timelines
