College applications are up 43% compared with before the pandemic. Most of that growth comes from students applying to more schools, which leaves admissions offices less certain about who will enroll. That question is reshaping how colleges read applications this year.

Nick, a Yale Former Admissions Officer, was at NACAC this fall, the national conference where college admissions deans and high school counselors meet to compare notes on the year ahead. In this live session, he shares what he heard there and what it means for your student, whatever grade they are in.
