"More than 66% of high school students are applying for college, which is up from 50% just 30 years ago, yet the number of available seats isn't growing at the same pace," says Jennifer MacLure, founder and CEO of My Pathway to College™. "Couple this with changing requirements, such as 80% of schools going test-optional, and you've got a whole new ballgame. We understand these changes, which is why we are passionate about demystifying the current-day admissions process for parents and empowering students to stand out."

During the Pre-College Experience, students will gain valuable essay writing tips, feedback, and support via presentations by Essay Hell's Janine Robinson. Students will also receive access to her online book and course after the conference. My Pathway to College's team of counselors will provide live guidance for the UC and Common applications, which will open during the conference. Students will also participate in a service opportunity to enrich their applications.

Registration for the conference is open and early bird registration is available through May 15 for $2,200, plus fees. The standard registration rate will begin on May 16 for $2,500, plus fees.
