Finding Your Dream School
The Radnor High School Counseling Department invites families to Finding Your Dream School, an evening with New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Selingo, on Thursday, May 21 at 6:30 p.m. followed by the Dream School College Fair featuring more than 25 of the dream colleges highlighted in his latest book.
Finding Your Dream School: An Evening with Jeff Selingo
Thursday, May 21, 2026 at 6:30 PM • Radnor High School Auditorium
Selingo is a bestselling author of four books on education and the job market, including his newest, Dream School: Finding the College That’s Right for You. Based on more than two years of research and a survey of some 3,000 parents, the book permits families to think more broadly about what signals a “good” college and then the tools to discover their dream school. His previous book, Who Gets In & Why: A Year Inside College Admissions, was named one of the New York Times’s 100 Notable Books of the Year in 2020. This event is made possible through a grant from the Radnor Educational Foundation. To attend Jeff Selingo's talk, please reserve your seat here. (Please note, families do not need a reserved seat to attend the Dream School College Fair, which will start at 7:30 PM in the RHS Cafeteria.)
