JCAS Final Schedule

Hello readers!

A few weeks back, we posted a draft of Saturday’s JCAS schedule. Below is the final schedule for the junior and sophomore sessions—you’ll note that the times and workshop names are the same as what we posted then. All sessions will be co-led by a wide array of talented admissions officers, financial aid professionals, and counselors who are excited to talk with you about your college plans and share their own college knowledge!
