Last weekend's Education Section of the Washington Post had an interesting glimpse into what goes on behind the closed doors of an admissions office. In fact, the author got to learn more about the process at several schools. So if you ever wondered if anyone is actually reading your college essay, the answer is yes*. Colleges really do consider your teacher recommendations, your transcript, your essays, your activities.
We're excited about our upcoming Case Studies Program on Sunday, April 28, the day before the Coast to Coast College Fair. For those of you who have registered, you will get a similar opportunity to see how admissions decisions are made. It should be quite interesting!
(*For the record, there are some colleges out there that pretty much just go by the numbers, but if a college asks you to write an essay, you can be sure they're going to read it.)
