Great podcast for students and parents, whether applying to Yale or not.

I absolutely adored this insider look, very entertaining and informative. Only had a few complaints: the stuff about ratings feels very secretive, they say they don’t have them but they also do and refuse to get specific about it. Also I wish they would discuss how Yale differs from other...Read full review »

These folks are very articulate and the audio is good but the content is drivel. Getting into schools such as these truly is a crapshoot if you’re not a recruited athlete, moneyed legacy, or target demographic. In fact, the tone of this podcast probably gives people false hope. There are far...Read full review »

It’s really nice to see how the Yale admissions process tries to make their process more transparent and approachable. Applying to college is incredibly stressful partly because so many schools tell you nothing about what they’re looking for or doing behind the scenes. Hannah and Mark make this...Read full review »

Yes, this podcast has its flaws, but I’m giving this 5 stars because it is so, so helpful and honest compared to every thing else in the admissions process. Thank you for actually talking about what makes an applicant stand out and what makes an essay stand out, and for combatting the false...Read full review »

My absolutely favorite podcast! Thanks for recording episodes regularly!

We can’t afford expensive admissions counselor so this podcast has been so helpful. I help mentor underserved students so what you share helps so many others. The 1/28/22 episode…LOL, Mark. I smashed that subscribe button and here’s my review!!

I wish this podcast had been around when I was applying to colleges. There’s a ton of wonderful insight here even if you aren’t applying to Yale or another Ivy League school.
colinlord via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/22
There are some interesting discussions, but it’s highly polished and mostly surface level stuff. Yale is not going to reveal how they actually make the sausage.

First off, I love this! My dream college is Yale! This gives me a good perspective of Yale! Thank you so much for making this! I want to go to Yale school of medicine. I’m just wondering if you could talk about it.. Thank you again!

The background music is really out of place and unnecessary. It has a bad quality and cheap feel, with no production value added. It takes listeners’ attention away from the interesting content. So one star off, otherwise a five star podcast.

I’m so grateful for this podcast Inside Yale Admissions and appreciate Mark and Hannah advocating for it against doubts from the administration! I love how Mark and Hannah interject empathy by understanding the struggles of writing a college essay and fun by referring to movies!
Amy IvyLeagueGuide via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/21
The admissions officers honestly just sound condescending and this podcast is no help to college admissions.
Danannananannana via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/21
All around excellent balance of content and tone, hosts (love Hannah’s laugh) producing , And last but certainly not least , Andrew Brick Johnson’s music .
bananabreadbaker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/31/21
Great podcast for those looking to get an inside view on the Yale admissions process, don’t listen if you think these episodes will apply to all application essays.
NicknamebecauseIcan'thinkofone via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/21
...it’s my pet peeve when people pronounce the t in often. This podcast had great information but I felt they were very full of themselves and kind of annoying.
Mommy7520 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/21
Never thought that a college admissions podcast would be interesting, but here I am...again. Appreciate the info.
Abby2107 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/21
I listened to all the episodes while working on my Yale application and it was really helpful! Thank you guys for all the tips you shared
Whitney Nduka via Apple Podcasts · Italy · 12/22/20
This podcast is about the grandeur and exaltation of Yale and only Yale. Its lessons and conclusions are applicable only to Yale. The stereotypes of Ivy League ego are on the fullest display. After suffering through three episodes, I want nothing more than to spare you this slog through perky...Read full review »

I enjoy this podcast. The participants come across as really nice and it could help applicants feel less intimidated and more informed.
Jdub# via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/16/20
This podcast both demystifies the application process and humanises the admissions officers. They keep the tone light and the episodes short so I’m always left wanting a bit more rather than having had too much. My favourite episode is the essay episode — really made me miss my days of...Read full review »

THANK YOU to these kind admissions officers for opening up what before was a mysterious world with humor and kindness. (Who ever thought a podcast on admissions could make you laugh?) Any student applying anywhere should listen to this, not only for technical advice on completing the application...Read full review »

Thanks for doing this type of content. Salutation from Colombia, Daniel Salinas

This podcast gives great advice for students in the college admissions process. It is worth listening to, if you are aiming at the best universities.
MichaelSteiner2020 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/01/20
But not in the way you would expect for an “admissions” podcast. First this podcast is really well-produced - it sounds like Radiolab, WNYC podcast with the audio lead ins, good audio, calm NPR-ish voices, music and guests. I also love how they weave in random (but interesting) facts (eg...Read full review »

You may wish to turn down the background music. At times it’s hard to hear the person speaking
Dexter Fowler via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/20
A rose-colored perspective is peddled heavily from the start. In one episode the hosts declare applications aren’t “scored” yet a quick online search reveals articles of admitted students reviewing their Yale admission records (ferpa laws), and guess what? The student files are PACKED with...Read full review »

This gives me an insight as an international applicant on the application process. I will be waiting for more episodes in the future!
Seif Ayad via Apple Podcasts · Egypt · 06/07/20
The creepy background music played over people speaking makes this podcast unlistenable. Skip it.
Jen_Listens via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/20
As a prospective student for this upcoming school year, this podcast has been really reassuring. It’s definitely relieving to hear that the focus in judging applicants is still the same. I look forward to listening to future segments.
hongcaitlin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/20
So far, this series has been really helpful to admissions. I plan on applying to Yale in the future, and I think this will give me a head start. Giving me tips into their admissions office, and strategies when approaching the application. If you plan on applying, you should listen too!!
Adam Walker 0417 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/20
Interesting look into the admissions process. Curious to see where the rest of the series goes
