Tips for making college admissions officers say, ‘wow’
Listen now
Description
How do you make your college application and essay stand now that AI can influence how application materials are generated and screened? Hear from Nancy Steenson, a college admissions coach, as she joins the podcast and host John Bryson to offer tips for students and parents as they navigate today’s college admissions environment. Nancy explores how admissions officers are factoring in standardized test scores, grades, essays, extracurricular activities, and interviews differently than they had been just a few years ago. She also explains how admissions officers at the most selective schools may assess application materials differently than their peers at less selective colleges. Among the pieces of advice that she shares: standardized test scores still matter; grade-point average standards can vary widely from high school to high school; and don’t get fooled into thinking grammar is just as important as personal voice in an essay.
