Listen "From Selective to Rejective: Changing the College Admissions Narrative"
Episode Synopsis
ASMSA Executive Director Corey Alderdice challenges the conventional label of "highly-selective" colleges and universities and offers a more accurate term: "highly-rejective." We explore the impact of rejection on students, the pressures of the admissions process, and why shifting our language can help create a healthier perspective on higher education. Join us as we discuss why it’s time to rethink how we talk about elite schools and the importance of finding the right fit over chasing prestige.For additional thoughts from Corey, visit coreyalderdice.com.You can also follow him on Twitter/X, LinkedIn, BlueSky, YouTube, Instagram, and Threads.
