Last week, Yeshiva University High School for Boys (MTA) juniors and their parents had the opportunity to attend MTA’s annual College Night, at which representatives of several colleges were present to discuss their respective schools with the students and answer their questions.

The program was held in Furst Hall and featured opening remarks by Rabbi Taubes, an introduction about the MTA College Guidance Department by Rabbi Brownstein and an introduction to the college application process by Mr. Sragow. Next, Mr. Jonathan Schwab, Associate Director of University Housing and Residence Life at YU, former Admissions Counselor and founder of The College Edge, gave a very informative presentation entitled, “Why and How to Write a Killer Essay.” For the next hour, students and parents were able to peruse the various booths of represented colleges, asking questions and learning information about each one. The colleges that were represented include University of Chicago, Columbia University, John Jay, Kingsborough, Maryland, Princeton, Queens College, University of Tel Aviv, YU and YU Honors.

Mr. Sragow and Rabbi Brownstein put in time and effort to organized the event.
