Dear DP1 Families,
Embark on an enriching journey with the “Get a Jumpstart on Your College Applications Boot Camp,” led by seasoned professional Jack Shull. With over 35 years of experience as a dedicated school and college counsellor at seven international institutions in seven countries, Mr. Shull brings a wealth of expertise in guiding high school students through the complexities of college and career development, providing social and emotional support, and assisting with academic course planning.
This two-day immersive experience extends a formal invitation to students, encouraging their participation in a comprehensive exploration of essential aspects related to their impending college transition. Under the expert tutelage of Mr. Shull, the primary focus is on empowering participants to assert control over uncertainties linked to college choices and programmes. The ultimate goal is to enable them to meticulously craft a robust college application that genuinely reflects their authentic selves.
The Saturday Seminar, a pivotal component of the boot camp, delves deeply into the global landscape of admissions. It offers invaluable insights into application processes worldwide, unravelling diverse educational philosophies and imparting essential skills such as researching colleges. Students emerge from this seminar equipped with a nuanced understanding of the intricate tapestry that is global higher education.
Transitioning to practical outcomes on Sunday, the agenda aims to provide students with tangible tools for success. By the boot camp’s conclusion, participants will have curated a working college list and produced compelling drafts of both a college essay and a resume/CV. Beyond the dissemination of knowledge, Mr. Shull’s seminars serve as a guiding beacon, instilling confidence and purpose in students as they navigate the complex path to higher education.
