This is the Admissions Uncovered podcast - the college admissions podcast for the students, by the students. We get the stress and fear you are feeling because we are feeling it too.

Michael Gao - a Columbia University student who's been through it - guides two high school seniors through the process. 

Tune in for no BS advice, great stories, and a college admissions process that's, at least, a little less painful. 

 Essays. Done. Common App. Done. Bugging teachers for rec letters. Done. All done. Except for the interview. For many seniors, this is the last mile before decision day. To prepare, tune in to this week's episode. We talk about the most common interview questions and how to answer them. Nhi and Dominic tell some funny public transit stories and give you some advice on how to make your interview interesting with anecdotes.

 One of the most common supplemental essay prompts colleges ask is the Why College prompt? These are often the most difficult essays to write because you want to be original, but not too original. In this episode, we talk about the importance of this essay, researching reasons to go to a school, structuring this essay in an anecdotal format, released essays from Tufts, and, finally, the worst mistake students make: talking only about the school and not about themselves as well. Michael tries to explain with a dating analogy; let’s see how that goes.
