Race-Conscious Admission is Over: What Does This Mean for US and International Applicants?

At the end of June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that “colleges and universities can no longer take race into consideration as a specific basis in admissions.”

The full implications of this decision, including how it will affect students applying in the upcoming 2023-24 admissions cycle and in future cycles, are still unclear. For now, here is what we know (and what we don’t know).

Is It Really the Hardest It's Ever Been to Get into College?

Is It Really the Hardest It's Ever Been to Get into College?

When you just look at the numbers — these numbers, or any numbers really (over 120,000 applicants to NYU! Northeastern accepted 6.7% of students! Apps to Yale increased 50% since 2020!) — it’s so easy to lose sight of the individual stories, victories, and disappointments that define this process, and the fact that opportunity is always right around the corner if you’re open to it.

This year, our students earned nearly 60 acceptances to Ivy League+ schools and over 230 acceptances to the Top 50 universities in the US.

To get a fresh perspective on the value of choosing a major—and why the liberal arts might be an equally compelling path to a career in business as a Finance or Engineering degree—we spoke with several college grads ranging in age from 29-34, to ask them whether their choice of major had an impact on their career. We got an earful, and some of their answers were surprising.

We’ve been saying for years now that the COVID-19 pandemic (and the subsequent wave of test-optional policies) completely upended the college application process. Elite admission rates that once were low but manageable are now outrageous—and at most universities, they’re not improving.

The test-optional landscape is constantly changing, so we’re keeping track of where test scores are required, recommended, and optional at the top 150 colleges and universities in the US. Where do your schools fall on the list?

Does Standardized Testing Still Matter?

Does Standardized Testing Still Matter?

One of the most common questions Sophomores and Juniors are asking right now is “Do I really need to take the SAT/ACT?” The answer is a categorical YES. While the current test-optional environment suggests the possibility of a more enduring trend, few schools have made permanent changes to their testing policies.

Why Did I Get Into One School Over Another?

Why Did I Get Into One School Over Another?

Sometimes admission outcomes don’t seem to make sense. You may be asking yourself: How could I have been admitted to the #1 ranked university in the country but not to the #40 ranked university?
