The Admission Game®is pleased to offer two concurrent series of college planning seminars that help young people find and get into the colleges that fit them best. Each program track includes twelve seminars that can be purchased either one at a time or as part of a membership package (see below). Your registration must be received at least three hours in advance of a given seminar in order for us to get you the necessary call-in information. When you register for a six month series, you'll save $49.90. Our "get one free - six for the price of five" special.
Participants may register for individual sessions, for a semester (six sessions), or for the full year (12 sessions.) Participants registering for a full year program also receive The "Advantage Workshop Series" at no additional cost. NOTE: Participation in the "Getting Started" program is not a prerequisite for registering for the "Getting In" program. You may also participate in the second semester of either program without participating in the first semester. Full-year participants also receive access to our membership area, which includes archived audio recordings of their programs for download as mp3 files and our newsletter archive.
