by | Nov 9, 2025

Junior year is the most crucial year of high school for college admissions. The choices students make now — from course selection and testing strategy to summer plans and college research — will shape their options a year from today.

In this free webinar, LifeLaunchr founder Venkates “Swami” Swaminathan and senior coaches Ruth Louden and Claire Schadler will guide you through what matters most for juniors — and how families can make this a calm, structured, and successful year.

Drawing on years of experience helping hundreds of students earn admission to top universities in the U.S., U.K., and Canada, we’ll share a thoughtful, proven approach that helps students find and get into their best-fit colleges.

Whether your student aims for highly selective universities, strong state schools, or small liberal arts colleges — and whether their goals include pre-health, computer science, engineering, business, or the arts — this session will help you focus on the right priorities and avoid common mistakes.

You’ll leave with a clear roadmap for the next 12 months — from testing and essays to campus visits and recommendation planning.
