To help high schools students across the New York City area gear
up for the college admissions process, the New York Mets will be
hosting College Prep Day on Thursday, May 3 at Citi Field,
partnering with Kaplan Test Prep, a premier provider of educational
test preparation services. Kaplan will provide guidance and
insights to the expected group of approximately 4,000 students on
the path to college and how to be stand-out applicants.
As part of College Prep Day, attending students will enjoy video
spots featuring Mets players describing their college experiences,
as well as exclusive insights from Mets Front Office personnel on
the importance of a college education and what the Mets
organization looks for when hiring interns and full-time positions.
A Kaplan Test Prep executive will also offer guidance for college
applicants navigating the admissions process on topics including
how to decide which college admissions test is right for you and
how to maximize your potential for scholarships. Additionally,
Kaplan will share exclusive insights from its annual college
admissions officers survey, including how social media factors into
the admissions process, and provide an opportunity to secure a
scholarship for an SAT® or ACT® prep course. Following the
informative program, the event continues with exhibitors on the
Mets’ Field Level Concourse where students can meet with admissions
advisors who will answer questions and provide information about
their colleges and universities. Attendees will then enjoy a day at
the ballpark to watch the Mets take on the Atlanta Braves.
“We couldn’t be more excited about partnering with the Mets to
inspire New York area students to succeed in their college
admissions journeys,” said Brian Carlidge, executive director of
pre-college programs, Kaplan Test Prep. “Both the Mets and Kaplan
share strong New York roots and decades of promoting educational
programs. Our goal with College Prep Day is to leave attendees
feeling well informed, better prepared, and more confident so they
can own the college prep process and achieve their goals.”
The event will commence at 11 AM with the Kaplan presentation,
followed by the Mets Front Office talk, and then the college fair
with exhibitors. If you are a NYC area student who’d like to
attend, please contact your school’s guidance office to encourage
them to participate. Schools that would like to participate can
