Masterclass II

I know you’ve heard this: “We have a holistic process. There’s no formula.” That’s an incomplete answer at best. Because every admission officer has to evaluate applicants against the same standard. That standard is a common set of ratings all AOs use to evaluate all applicants. The purpose of this class is to help you understand the admission process from the perspective of an AO: from reading an application to voting in committee. Why? Because when we apply to college, we’re engaged in a persuasive effort to transform our AO from skeptical-judge to personal-advocate. And the best way to do that is by understanding who an AO is and how they do their job.
