College admissions has never been more competitive: high GPAs, strong test scores, and a well-rounded resume—once sufficient for an acceptance—are now common features of most applications to highly selective colleges.
In this episode, we reveal what top colleges nowadays seek: students with compelling admissions stories centered around a focused academic passion, or “hook.” Using the process we’ve employed with our own students to help them gain admission to top colleges, we break down how students need to go about identifying their own unique narrative, how to build and continually re-shape it over time, and how their approach should differ depending on how close—or far away—they are from actually applying to colleges.
“The Game” is hosted by Sam Hassell and brought to you by Great Minds Advising.
