About this webinar
What happens after a student hits submit? Go inside the admissions committee room as AcceptU’s former admissions officers evaluate applicants, weigh strengths and weaknesses, and debate who should be admitted.
Led by Stephen, AcceptU’s COO and Co-founder, and Sarah, Director of College Counseling, this interactive mock committee will reveal how admissions decisions are actually made.
Families will learn:
- How admissions officers evaluate students with similarly strong credential
- How academics, activities, essays and recommendations come together in holistic review
- Why highly qualified students can receive very different decisions
- What separates compelling applications from the rest
- How AcceptU’s Admissions Committee review helps Grade 12 students before submission
