Listen "Semester 4: Episode 7: What Does "Holistic Review" Really Mean?"
Episode Synopsis
Most U.S. universities use a ‘holistic review’ process when evaluating applications, meaning admissions committees place emphasis on the student as a whole person. Colleges want to build well-rounded classes made up of specialists who can contribute to the campus communities in ways other than just academic performance. In this episode, IvyWise college admissions expert Tiffany (formerly at MIT, the University of Virginia, and Colgate University) talks with Krista, former Assistant Director of Admissions at Johns Hopkins, to break down what the holistic review process entails and how universities build their first-year classes!
