A Conversation About College

On Wednesday, November 7th from 6:30-8:30PM Eric Dobler from Dobler College Consulting will be presenting a college admissions workshop at Sacred Heart Church in Southbury, CT for parents of students in 9th – 12th grades. This event is free and open to the public.

The college search and application process has never been more wrought with stress, anxiety and chaos than it is today. Knowing what to do and when to do it can be a major struggle for any family – but it doesn’t have to be. Armed with good information and an intentional plan of action, a student can eliminate the common mistakes that tend to reduce their chances of admission. In fact, they can even manage to enjoy the process. 

This workshop will cover strategies for successfully navigating the college application process and helping your son or daughter make the most of their college experience.


Conversation topics will include:



  • How to develop a college list that suits your child’s VIPS

  • How to review an application like an admissions counselor

  • Tips for successful essays

  • Making the most of interviews and campus visits

  • Reducing the cost of college

  • Overall organization of the process


If you’re stressed about how your child will get into and do well at college, this workshop is designed for you. 

If you have any questions, please contact Eric directly at 203.525.4096 or eric@doblercollegeconsulting.com

Hope to see you there!
