College Application Bootcamp for Juniors

Vielka Hoy Consulting was founded in 2013 and is committed to supporting students in their college ambitions. We specialize in working with underserved communities: students of color; immigrant and first-generation students; low-income students; girls; and students in public schools. We realize that includes a lot of students—most everyone—but we take the approach that these students are not getting the level of service that students and families with means are getting. Since our founding, 100% of our clients are in college, have graduated or are on-track to graduate, and all with their funding needs met. The need to graduate from college is more important now than ever. Doing so with as little debt as possible, is becoming more difficult. That’s why we are committed to graduating students, in as close to four years, with as little debt as possible. The two-day intensive Junior Bootcamp is open to all 11th grade students and their families. You will leave with a college application strategy, a personalized college list, and resources to support your college success. Sessions include: Strategies for Successfully Applying to College Intro to College Financials SAT Tips Choosing a College Major Writing your Essays (in two parts) Creating your College List College Success Tips Sessions are run by the team at Vielka Hoy Consulting and guest speakers. This is a two-day event virtual event: Saturday, November 16 (1PM-6PM EST) and Sunday, November 17 (1PM-6PM EST). Participation on both dates is required. Registration cost is per family (student and parent/guardian). After purchase, we will send you a registration form and the links to the virtual classrooms.
