This free event is presented by the CVUSD Counseling/College & Career team and will be hosted by Arun Ponnusamy, former Chief Academic Officer of Collegewise and host of Get Wise: College Admissions Explained. Mr. Ponnusamy will draw on his deep admissions and college counseling knowledge to break down what has changed, what has stayed the same and what remains, well, a bit murky when it comes to admission to schools like the ivies, the UCs, and so many others.
