What College Admissions Trends Mean for Your Child's Future — And How to Stand Out

The college admissions landscape is evolving, with shifting policies, priorities, and expectations shaping how students are evaluated. Understanding these trends can empower families to make the most strategic and thoughtful choices for their children's education.

Lindsay Tanne, founder and CEO of LogicPrep, a premier NY-based college consultancy that guides families globally, offers an insider's look at selective college admissions — from test-optional policies to the impact of AI — and how applicants can create a powerful, authentic narrative to gain admission to their dream schools.

Lindsay and her team of college advisors — all former admissions officers from Ivy+ and a broad range of top-tier institutions — bring firsthand knowledge of what it takes to stand out in a competitive applicant pool. This seminar will cover topics such as the importance of secondary school selection, the impact of legacy on college admissions, and when is the right time to begin the college search process. 

This program will include ample time for Q&A and is ideal for parents of middle and high school age children.
