College Case Studies Program

The WFS College Office recently hosted a Case Studies program for juniors and their grownups. Prior to the program, students and adults were given three college applications to read.
During the program, students and grownups worked in small groups as "admissions committees." An admissions officer facilitated each group. Groups were asked to admit one student, deny one student, and waitlist one student.

Attendees learned about the importance of college "fit," the role of courses and grades, the impact of standardized testing, and how the essay, activities, and letters of recommendation shape college decisions from professionals, allowing them to gain invaluable insight into the admissions process.

Admissions officers from the University of Chicago, Franklin & Marshall College, Hampden-Sydney College, Allegheny College, University of Vermont, American University, University of Wisconsin, Gettysburg College, Muhlenberg College, University of New Hampshire, and Miami University of Ohio were in attendance.
