Want to have us analyze your current profile for top colleges in an upcoming episode? Email us at [email protected], despite possessing excellent grades, course rigor, and test scores, the vast majority of applicants to top colleges lack the type of compelling resume outside the classroom that actually differentiates accepted from rejected students.In this episode, we unveil the costly and potentially candidacy-ending resume mistakes that tend to beset many otherwise high-achieving students aiming for highly selective colleges. In particular, we discuss the case of junior year students who very often find themselves in a dilemma whereby their resume is severely lacking and yet they have very little time for the significant improvements required.We call attention to the limited number of “remaining moves” on the board these students have before the clock runs out and how they need to think strategically about factors such as value, risk/probability of success, and allocation of time and resources to potential resume-builders if they wish to preserve any chance of gaining admission to a top college.——“The Game” is hosted by Sam Hassell and brought to you by Great Minds Advising.
