Who Gets In and Why, A Year Inside College Admissions

  • April 24, 2024
  • 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
  • Hinsdale Central High School

Selingo dispels the entrenched notions of how to compete and win at the admissions game, reveals why families have much to gain by broadening their notion of what qualifies as a “good” college, and explains how the COVID-19 pandemic will impact admissions in the long run.
