College Admission is like Thanksgiving Dinner

College Admission is like Thanksgiving Dinner

Preparing your menu for admissions is a lot like preparing for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It takes time and effort to prepare deliciously, scrumptious and eye-pleasing presentations. If you are thinking about Thanksgiving, let me share my menu with you. If you are thinking about college admission, I'll give you my menu for that, as well!

Here is my regular Thanksgiving Menu. Each item will take planning, and it has to be carefully timed to be presented at just the right moment, while it's still warm – or cool. I make as much as possible ahead of time. Some things, like thawing a turkey, take a LOT of advanced planning.
