Assuming you haven’t been living under a rock since the 90s, you (hopefully) know by now that top colleges no longer want “well-rounded” students. The same old boring applicant admissions officers at top colleges see in droves––the student who plays sports, the violin, is editor of the school newspaper, and class president. The type of profile that makes admissions officers at highly selective colleges fall asleep.But there’s a catch: one part of a student’s candidacy where admissions officers do expect a high degree of well-roundedness and balanced proficiency. And we cover it in this episode.——“The Game” is hosted by Sam Hassell and brought to you by Great Minds Advising.
