Questions to be asked but not limited to:

• How did you decide which schools you would apply to? What type of research did you do? How did the College Prep events at Freestyle help you, if at all?
• How did you engage with the colleges you applied to? Visits? Contact with admissions/faculty/students?
• What were the biggest challenges you faced in meeting all of the deadlines? What would you do differently now?
• How did you organize your work? How early did you submit your applications prior to the deadlines?
• How did you ultimately choose the program you will attend? How did your Freestyle experience influence your decision?
• When you look back at your application experience, what are you most proud of?
• What do you think is important in the college application process that we haven't asked about?

We'll ask students to voluntarily bring their portfolio and post-session, attendees can ask questions 1-on-1 from the individual students about their portfolios.
