The Real Secret of College Admission

DefaultImage

David L. Marcus volunteers to interview applicants for his alma mater, Brown University. Last month, he wrote an article for U.S. News and World Report titled, “The Real Secret of College Admissions.” In his article, Marcus writes about some of the difficult truths of the college admission process.  He talks about how the process can sometimes be “irrational” and how a rejection letter can be a “blessing in disguise”.    I think Marcus’ piece is insightful and offers an interesting perspective on what can be a difficult process.
