Beyond the Tassel, Behind the Admissions Curtain

The post-secondary path often takes a circuitous route through a series of dark tunnels, switchbacks, dead-ends, trial balloons, and unknowns but at the end of the day, those who remain true to the journey, approach it with an open mind, and retain a willingness to put their back into it, stand a very good chance of finding excellent fit. And if there’s anything I love, it’s good post-secondary fit! But when we’re wrapping-up the Junior year in high school and heading into Senior year, it can seem a daunting task to find our way onto the right trailhead and even once we’re on it, mysteries about the process often still abound. Especially in this very different Covid era. So, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at what actually happens behind the college admissions curtain, unwind a few of those ‘mysteries,’ and examine a few strategies for making the most of it all.
