Holy Cross Junior Advisory Seminars during April Break

Holy Cross will be hosting a series of webinars that they hope will make the college search process less overwhelming. All current high school juniors are invited to join Holy Cross for a weeklong series of Junior Advisory Seminars, where they will offer advice, tips, and insight into the college search to help you get started in finding your best fit.

During the week of April 19, admission counselors and current Holy Cross students will lead seminars on the following topics:

Monday, April 19	5 Things I Wish I Focused on During My Senior Year in High School
Tuesday, April 20	First Things First: 4 Tips for First-Generation College Goers
Wednesday, April 21	3 Tips to Nail Your Admission Interview
Thursday, April 22	The 4 Keys to Writing a Killer College Essay
Friday, April 23	The Inside Scoop: How Applications Are Read and Admission Decisions Are Made

Register for one or more Junior Advisory Seminars here. Please note all seminars are scheduled for 2 PM Eastern Time. Live closed captioning will be available, and all seminars will be archived on our website for later viewing.

If you are unable to access the online webinars, we can request a Junior Advisory Seminars viewbook on your behalf. The viewbook will serve as a comprehensive recap of each installment in our series and include panelist information, FAQs, and highlights from each seminar. Holy Cross can provide either a PDF version of this viewbook after the series concludes. Holy Cross can also print a limited quantity to be mailed to you upon your request. Please reach out to your counselor if you are interested in either of these formats.
