HTHNC Juniors

North County Coastline Case Studies

HTHNC | Santa Fe Christian School | San Diego Jewish Academy | The Cambridge School | Pacific Ridge School

Welcome to the 2026 North County Coastline Case Studies Program! Pacific Ridge School is proud to host this event on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, for all junior students and families from our five schools.

During this program, juniors and their families will participate in mock admissions committees led by current college admissions representatives. Each committee will review three mock college applications and, as a group, determine which student to admit, waitlist, or deny. This interactive experience is designed to provide valuable insight into how college applications are evaluated and how admissions decisions are made.

Following the case studies, a college fair will take place with over 100 colleges in attendance. Many of these representatives will be the individuals reviewing applications from the San Diego region next year, making this an excellent opportunity to introduce yourself, demonstrate interest, and ask meaningful questions.

Please note that parking is limited, and carpooling is strongly encouraged. The program will begin promptly at 6:00 PM.

Students and families who have attended in past years consistently share that this is one of their favorite and most impactful programs. We strongly encourage all junior students and families from our five schools to attend.

College Fair Registration

We will be using Strive Scan to simplify the college fair portion of the evening. Students and families must register for a scannable barcode before the program on Strive Scan.

Go to Strive Scan to register for the event.

Upon submission, you will be texted and emailed a barcode. Please keep this barcode accessible (take a photo or print it).

You will use this barcode during the college fair - colleges will scan your barcode to obtain your contact information.
