Episode 15 — Should You Contact Admissions Officers?

  • サマリー

  • In this episode, we dive into the many different types of “demonstrated interest” and the particular case of contacting admissions officers:

    • Why “demonstrated interest” is generally overrated and over-discussed compared to other candidacy-building factors for students targeting highly selective colleges
    • “Strong” vs “weak” demonstrated interest: defining highly strategic forms vs. mere “checkbox” items
    • Other types of “quasi-demonstrated interest” or “yield signaling” that can affect admissions odds
    • 80/20 rule for demonstrated interest and maximizing leverage
    • The poor risk-to-reward ratio of admissions officer contact and why it constitutes “weaker” demonstrated interest at top schools
    • Ideal vs. less ideal conditions for contact
    • Yale admit example
