Admissions: Your Admissions Officer
This week, Veritas co-founders Andrew M. and Jay B. address the daunting task of college-admissions officer, who commonly has to read over 1700 applications each admissions season, and the equally challenging task of the college-applicant, who has to stand out from his or her peers in that deep pool of applicants. “Holy admissions headache!” Luckily, the two speakers are there to help you be ahead of the curve and present a holistic, thoughtful, and dynamic self to the admissions office.

Admissions: The College-Applicant’s Context
Welcome back, blog-readers! We hope that you all had wonderful breaks and happy New Year’s.
Starting off 2011, the Veritas Blog is proud to inaugurate a new series, seguëïng from the Graduate Record Exam (whose series will return in the future) onto the College Admissions Process! In this first video in the series, Veritas co-founders Andrew M. and Jay B. introduce themselves, their work, and the current college-applicant’s context in one of Veritas’ popular and free local seminars. Speaking under the title “How to Get into (Your) Harvard,” the two emphasize that “there are schools out there for everyone” and that, by “discover[ing] what you love to do and striv[ing] to be excellent at it,” you’ll not only get into a college that’s right for you but also “live a fulfilled and successful life.” In short, Jay and Andrew speak to help you discover the passions that you’d like to cultivate going forward and, in posts still to come, will elaborate on how best you as a high-school student can do so.
Stay tuned, blog-readers! There’s a lot more in store for 2011.
Warmly yours,
