On October 17 2023, college advisor Andy Lockwood was invited to speak about college admissions and financial aid at the Manhasset (NY) Public Library.  He hopes that he'll be invited back.

Topics included:

• How much of the college application is based on grades?
• How much does "rigor" (AP and IB classes) count?
• Test-optional policies: applying vs getting accepted
• Diversity and the Supreme Court decision on affirmative action: what will colleges do?
• Is it pushy or braggy to send a resume as part of your college applications? 
• Should Asian-American students be "less Asian?"
• FAFSA - changes to the financial aid rules for families with siblings in college, divorced families, business owners
• Financial aid deadlines 
• More
