Breakthrough Webcast in College Admissions

Jordan Goldman, founder of leading college site Unigo.com recently coordinated a panel of leaders on the college side of admissions to give students an inside peek on the college admissions process.

The Webcast features admissions officers and deans of admissions from some very prestigious colleges, including Bryn Mawr College, Grinnell College, Marquette University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Vermont, Wesleyan University, and Williams College.

I found the Webcast extremely helpful and many of the answers extremely telling of the way in which applications are viewed. Pointers on how to complete applications parts like extra curricular lists and Standardized testing were very informative. Much of the information and general comfort with the process used to be limited to lengthy books about the process; this is a great opportunity to get ahead and to build your understanding. At least part of the ninety minute Webcast should be worthwhile.
