The Challenge Success 2024 Fall Conference at Stanford University

The college admissions process can be a source of stress and anxiety for students and parents/caregivers alike. This research-based workshop addresses many of the important questions we hear from families, such as: What do college rankings really measure? Are students who attend more selective colleges better off later in life? What is “fit” and why does it matter? We will emphasize the importance of students discovering their own path to success that matches their unique goals and interests. Participants will learn practical strategies to help reduce unnecessary pressure around the college admissions process and ways to support their student’s overall well-being and readiness for life in college and beyond.
