6月のブログにご紹介した
Lynn O'
Shaughnessy さんの講演会がこの週末、UCSDであります。
内容は、
★ スカラシップを有利にもらう戦略
★ 実際に子供の大学進学にかかる費用の計算方法
★ テストスコアー(SAT等)を重視しない大学
★ アスリートのためのスカラシップのインサイダー情報
などなどです。
経済ジャーナリストとしても名高い方ですが、ここ数年は質のよい大学にいかに安く子供を通わせるかの戦略の立て方でマスコミにもよく取り上げられています。
現地校主催で、この方のセミナーに通われた方も多いことと思います。
今週のセミナーは、9時から3時までと比較的長いので、かなり深くカバーする予定だと、ご本人もおっしゃっています。
お嬢さんは、ペンシルバニアのJuniata Collegeをこの夏卒業され、すぐに希望した職を得ることができたそうです。
息子さんは、現在ウイスコンシンのBeloit College で物理と数学を専攻されています。
あまり名前の知られていないリベラルアーツカレッジの本当に素晴らしさ、教育の質の高さを私は
Lynnさんから教えて頂きました。
又、職業柄、学長さんレベルの方とも密接なコンタクトをお持ちで、経営側から見たアドミッションの情報も大変興味深いです。
ファイナンスの専門家、教育コンサルタント、母親といくつもの顔をお持ちの、それでいて、とても親しみやすい素晴らしい女性です。
今日、メールしたら、今週のセミナーまだ若干の空きがあるそうです。私も伺います。
もしよかったら、現地でお会いしましょう。
Lynnさんが寄稿されているサイトも貼り付けますね。
すごい情報量です。
