TOPIC: Application Review – A Peek Behind the Curtain

CASE STUDY DESCRIPTION: These highly interactive, virtual workshops will provide advisors with a candid, insider’s look into the application review and decision process for graduate and health profession programs. Admissions representatives will share case studies that highlight the key components of the application review process, including the academic, extracurricular, competency development, and non-cognitive criterion considered. Advisors will have an opportunity to reflect on how they would assess each case and gain insight into the different methods used by admissions committees to identify a diverse and qualified pool of students who are likely to succeed within their respective programs and health profession careers. Presenters have been prepped that advisors understand the mechanics of the various centralized applications; our time together will focus on what happens “behind the curtain.”
