LOCAL ACCOMMODATIONS

The College Admissions Panel on Wednesday evening, February 5th, features five admissions officers from colleges and universities of varying admissions selectivity, size, and geography. This is a convenient opportunity for current Fifth Formers and their parents to learn more about the process and expectations of college admissions.

The Mock Application Review on Thursday morning, February 6th, features the visiting college admissions officers' review and assessment of mock applications from Berkshire. This is a unique window into how college admissions decisions are made. It is historically the most interesting and informative component of the two-day program for parents.

Although Berkshire athletic contests are scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, any students with away games are scheduled to return to campus in time to attend the College Admissions Panel that evening.
