"What counts?!" is the perennial question asked by parents and students as they wonder what makes a strong application. The answer, it turns out, is complicated. In a re-broadcast of a popular episode from Season 7, the admissions deans at Dartmouth and Brown ponder the nuanced question at hand as they share insights on what admissions officers are—and are not—considering as they build their college communities. Juniors, this conversation will help you discover which colleges match your interests and abilities, while seniors may be glad to know that the way you tell your own story is as important as the transcripts and test scores you submit.
