Have you ever wondered how a highly selective college decides who gets in and who doesn’t? I recently visited Caltech to find out just that for the public radio show I produce and host on KPFK 90.7 FM.
If you are the kind of parent who wants your child to have the best insights on what it takes to get into the nation’s top schools, join me behind the scenes at Caltech on Access College Radio by clicking HERE.
In this exclusive interview, Jarrid Whitney, Executive Director of Admissions, shares his tips on the process Caltech uses to sift through the thousands of applications it receives each year and the criteria the school applies to select its crop of budding scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. Professor Victor Tsai offers his insights into what makes for a great application, and recent Caltech admittees talk about what they did to stand out from the crowd.
The value of understanding the college admissions process from the inside-out can’t be overstated. It is critical for students and families to learn how to see college applications through the eyes of the admissions office, which is, after all, the audience for the college application. This show gives students and families that all-important admissions office perspective.
