The college admissions process has undergone seismic shifts in recent years: from the rise of test-optional policies and the introduction of the digital SAT to FAFSA delays and an increased emphasis on character and authenticity. For many families, this new landscape brings more questions than ever—and the need for clear, trusted guidance.

We invite you to an inspiring and practical evening at the Pyramid Club, one of Philadelphia’s most distinguished gathering spaces. Overlooking the city skyline from the 52nd floor of 1735 Market Street, the Pyramid Club provides a welcoming environment for members and families to gain insight, ask questions, and connect.

Our featured speaker, Micki Kaplan McMillan, is a seasoned educator and trusted advisor with more than 23 years of experience in elite boarding schools, boutique educational consulting, and now as a leader with Empowerly—a premier national college admissions counseling firm. Empowerly students achieve admission rates up to 11x higher than the national average at top universities.
