About the Event:

The admissions process can be stressful because Admissions Officers (AOs) rarely reveal what factors they look for while evaluating a candidate’s profile. In this webinar, our Co-Founder and CEO, Dr. Kim Dixit, will run through three case studies with Admissions Officers from leading US universities so that you can see how these AOs evaluate a prospective student. You will learn how every part of the application is crucial: the essays, the grades, the letters of recommendation, the resume, why “fit” matters so much and how it is determined. Bring your questions about the evaluation process.
