The media's admissions beat is a very active feed each fall as application deadlines approach. Headlines invite clicks, shares, chatter...and often anxiety as students and parents consume newsfeeds that brim with content. But every admissions-themed article is not "news you can use," and some advice columns need a dose of interpretation. This week, AB host Lee Coffin and producer Charlotte Albright have a conversation about several recent admissions articles from The New York Times and Forbes—and the headlines that sometimes accelerate applicant angst—as they ponder what these posts really highlight. “I want to offer a forum for explanation,” the Dartmouth dean observes, "and what nuggets of information are worth adopting as valuable guidance."
