Join Us for a Live Admissions Showdown

Admissions officers are talking about you. Your essays. Your recommendation letters. Your test scores. Now you get to hear what they really say behind closed doors.

Former Admissions Officers from Yale, Harvard, UChicago, Johns Hopkins, and more will debate real applications in a high-stakes simulation. See how decisions are made and what truly tips the scale for or against an applicant.

Inside the Debate: What You’ll Experience

Our Former Admissions Officers will put real applications under the microscope, raising the very questions that drive committee discussions:

• • Did the 1570 really beat out the 1550?
  • Which math class mattered more, AP Calc AB or AP Stats?
  • Was the Columbia summer program stronger than Brown’s?
  • Did the AI coding bootcamp actually impress anyone?
  • Which signature project captured attention?
  • Which essay or recommendation letter carried the most weight?

You won’t just hear the questions, you’ll watch officers wrestle with them live and see how choices are ultimately made.

Along the way, you’ll gain clarity on every part of the process:

Admissions Committee Debate: Step inside a simulation as officers argue over two applicants competing for one spot.

Common App Breakdown: Understand how each section is evaluated and which details matter most.

Live Strategy Sessions: Watch officers provide feedback on activity lists, essays, and profiles to reveal how applications are improved.
