College Admissions Decisions: Behind the Curtain

  • October 19, 2022
  • 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
  • Tyree Institute, Wolcott College Prep, Chicago

Presented by

Veronica Hauad

University of Chicago

Deputy Director of Admissions

Deputy Director for Access,

Affordability, and Inclusion

Look inside the admissions committee: a Case Study exercise. This is your chance to see what an application looks like and how applications are reviewed! Together we will serve as the admissions committee for a university, review applications, and decide who is admitted, waitlisted, or denied admission. See you in the committee room!

How do institutional priorities, application review (grades and scores, and/or a holistic approach), and an authentic student voice impact the admissions decision? Veronica Hauad will bring her experience and perspectives on college admissions, and share advice on how students can put together the best application possible.

Participants will be placed into groups of "admissions committees" to review applications and make decisions to accept, deny, wait-list, or defer the applicants.

There will be Q & A following the presentation. This program is free and open to the public.
