    Admissions Masterclass Registration (8/7 via Zoom)

    In this episode, we dissect the candidacy of a student from the Wall Street Journal piece, "To Get Into The Ivy League, Extraordinary Isn't Always Enough These Days."
    The piece spotlights Kaitlyn Younger, a Texas high school senior with a 3.95/4.0 unweighted GPA in 11 AP courses, 1550/1600 SAT, top marks on AP exams, and a rank of #23/668 (top-3%) in her graduating class.
    Younger applied to 12 colleges, was rejected by 9, waitlisted at 1, and only earned admission to two safety schools, including Arizona State, where she now attends.
    We highlight several critical errors or failed opportunities in Younger's profile, including her highly common resume and presentation as a "well-rounded" student.


    “The Game” is hosted by Sam Hassell and brought to you by Great Minds Advising.
