The college admissions landscape has changed. Gone are the days of the “spray and pray” approach, where students simply applied to as many schools as possible, hoping for the best. Today’s colleges—especially selective and highly selective ones—are more competitive than ever. As acceptance rates decline, it’s crucial for students to craft strategic applications that help them stand out.

In this session, we’ll explore what selective colleges are truly looking for. We’ll dive into three key student case studies with important components—such as academic profiles, leadership profiles, personal narratives, and recommendations—that make the difference in a highly competitive pool. 

Through practical strategies and valuable resources, we hope that both students and counselors will feel more confident about approaching this process in the Fall.
