Obviously, we’re still in the pandemic and it has been a huge impact on all of our lives. In today’s episode, I’m going to be addressing the 3 biggest changes that come with college admissions during the pandemic. We talk about colleges dropping the test requirements and what that means for the other aspects of your application.  

 

This is an important episode for any student who is applying to their undergrad or grad school during the ongoing pandemic. So tune in, get a pen and paper ready, and take notes!

What We Cover:

• Most colleges getting rid of test requirements and the catch with this change
• What are colleges using on your application to admit you
• Why your essays, extracurricular activities, and GPA matter more
• How to participate in extracurricular activities online
• The benefits of working with a college counsellor and strategist
• Why college admissions are now more competitive than it was in the pandemic

“Getting into college isn't really [about] how great you are, it's [about] what colleges need, and what they need to form their class and run their business.”
