Accepted or Rejected? The Truth About College Admissions
College admissions continue to evolve in response to societal shifts, technological advancements, and changing student expectations.
In this episode of Sparking Genius, host Dianne Drew speaks with two experts shaping the admissions experience on both sides: Katie Korhonen, Director of Global Admissions, Evaluation, and Strategy at NYU, and Shellee Hendricks, Dwight’s Global Director of College Counseling. They break down what’s actually happening in the college application world—test-optional policies, access to international opportunities, ethical concerns, and the impact of AI. They also get real about how guidance counseling has evolved, and what parents should (and shouldn’t) be doing to support their kids through this journey. From how NYU is rethinking outreach, to what students can do now to stand out, this episode offers sharp, honest insight into the current admissions climate.
Whether you're a parent, educator, or future applicant, there's a lot to take away from this conversation.
