Free event scheduled for Tuesday, March 25.

A teacher and author will present the Top Five Mistakes Students Make on their College Application Essays on Tuesday, March 25 at 7 p.m. in the West Caldwell Public Library Community Room. 

Students and parents getting ready to begin the college application process will learn secrets to becoming a highly desirable candidate, including how to discover the purpose of the essay, what admission officers are looking for, and what not to do so students don’t waste valuable time.

This program, hosted by Randy Levin, will encourage students and parents to avoid waiting until the fall of senior year to discover in the midst of a hectic schedule how vital these essays are and how difficult the process can be to set themselves apart from all the other applicants!
