In today's episode, I lay out the latest developments in the college admissions process. 

  • how to define "best"
  • 160,000+ applications
  • all applications look the same
  • no more DEI curation
  • institutional priorities survive
  • variable pricing models

As we move into the important summer months, make sure you know what to prioritize, what has fallen out of favor, and how to stay ahead of the game.
