 Understanding the New Reality of College Admissions

Admissions today is like a video store on a Friday night in the 90s.

The "New Release" Problem: If everyone wants the same limited "New Release" (Ivy League/Top 20 schools), most people leave unhappy. If you browse the shelves for genres you love (fit), you are more likely to find a great movie (college) and have a successful experience.

Look beyond the Top 50 rankings to find "Hidden Gem" schools. Dig into Common Data Sets and departmentspecific acceptance rates. Invest time in standardized testing to potentially increase admission odds. Understand that "Safety" schools look very different today than 10 years ago. Move away from "New Release" obsession and find the college that fits you
