ADMITTED is The Classic's premier college admissions podcast, where we sit down with Townsend Harris seniors and discuss the essays and strategies they used to get into their dream schools. In this episode, you will hear from class of 2025 alum Rachel Zhang and her journey to being accepted into Harvard University. You will hear about Rachel's passion of clay sculpting to her interest in engineering. This episode is part one of the conversation with Rachel, covering her personal statement and supplemental essays. Next week, part two will be released, and will include a discussion on the rest of her college application.
