27. 3 College Admissions Trends & Their Affects on Future Applicants


Listen Later

As a college admissions counselor, I have been noticing a few key trends in this field affecting future applicants and their ability to get into top colleges. These trends are affecting both US and international admissions and should be taken into consideration as students prepare for or move through their college admissions process.

 

Tune into today’s episode to learn what these trends are, how they’re affecting admissions and ways that you can increase your chances of getting into your college of choice!

What We Cover:

  • The huge increase in college applicants and the impact on admissions
  • How to increase your chances of getting admitted 
  • The increase in international applicants in key US cities 
  • Colleges opting to make the SAT/ACT test optional

“So a key thing for you to notice is that as tens of thousands more students are applying to these schools, they're not accepting more students.”
