THE PRINCETON REVIEW OFFERS THE KNOWLEDGE TO GET IN TO COLLEGE WITH FREE ‘GETTING IN’ EVENTS

NEW JERSEY, September 17, 2013 – For high school students, this fall will mark the beginning of the extensive college admissions process. To help students and parents start the college search early and overcome any related anxiety, The Princeton Review is offering free ‘Getting In’ college admissions workshops. The Getting In workshops will reveal the secrets of the admissions process and provide answers to college-bound teens' questions about finding, getting into and paying for college. Students will also learn about admissions myths, how to crack the SAT and ACT, and how to maximize their admissions potential.

 “The fact is that applying to college is more complicated and competitive than ever,” says Christine Parker, Manager of Community Relations for The Princeton Review’s local New Jersey office. “We have designed these ‘Getting In’ workshops to deliver lessons and skills that college bound students and their parents need to successfully navigate the college preparation, research and application processes.”

 The Princeton Review, a leader in test preparation services, has been helping students raise their test scores for over 30 years.  It is truly an international company, with offices spanning the globe, from New Delhi to Seoul, from New York to Dubai; yet it has managed to maintain a local presence, with course locations throughout New Jersey and a full-time staff in Edison.  The Princeton Review offers private tutoring, small group instruction, live in-classroom and live online courses.  Its team of test preparation advisors is always on-hand to help students find the option that best meets their testing goals and scheduling needs.

 According to The Princeton Review, college bound students and their families sometimes make costly mistakes during the college preparation and admission process. "It’s a daunting experience for the students and the parents," says Parker.  "We hope that by running these workshops, we can provide straightforward and indispensable information about the college admissions process."

 These workshops, open to current high school sophomores and juniors and their parents, will be taking place at 10:00am at the following dates and locations: Saturday, October 19th at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, Saturday, October 26th at Ramapo College of New Jersey and Sunday, November 3rd at Monmouth University. Pre-registration is required. You can register online at www.PrincetonReview.com under ‘Free SAT Events’ or you can call the local New Jersey office at 1-888-879-1295.
