Admissions Masterclass Registration (8/7 via Zoom)
In this episode, we cover the much more strategic attitude—versus a purely “instructions-following” mindset—students should take into the application process for each and every piece of information admissions officers will view, including components that might seem like pure “data entry.”
We highlight negative perceptions and various red flags that can be associated with variables such as (1) parent occupations, (2) students' future plans/career interests, (3) inclusion of social security numbers, (4) description of activities and accomplishments, and (5) writing style.
Taken together, we show how subtle variations in a student’s responses can alter the perception of their uniqueness, likability, and even the authenticity of the application itself.

“The Game” is hosted by Sam Hassell and brought to you by Great Minds Advising.
