The Princeton Review Australia

Is Your Child Ready for the AI Shift?

"Admissions is not about perfect students. It is about real students."

High scores are no longer enough to guarantee a spot. In a world where AI can polish an essay to perfection, universities are looking for the "Spike"—the unique identity that sets a student apart.

Join Devery Doran (VP of College Counselling and former Harvard/UC Berkeley Admission Officer) for a deep dive into the modern admissions process.

What we’ll discuss:
✔ What Top Universities Really Want: The shift from "Achievement" to "Differentiation." ��
✔ How AI is Shaping Admissions: Why AI makes it harder to stand out and how to respond. ��
✔ Why Even Top Students Get Rejected: Why "Perfect ≠ Accepted" in a sea of similar profiles. ��
✔ Building a Truly Competitive Profile: How to start early and gain a massive advantage. ��

Don't let your application be just another face in the crowd. Learn how to build a profile that resonates.

We were proud to join Senior Summit’s Careers Expo at Norwest Christian College, where students explored a broad mix of post-school pathways, from universities and TAFE to apprenticeships, GAP year programs, vocational training, performing arts, and overseas study.

Yesterday our team joined other leading institutions at Willoughby Girls High School for Year 10 Stage 6 and Beyond! 🎓 Manager of Student Success Olivia Messina and Program and Partnership Manager Erin Geraghty were on hand to help Year 10 students explore their options for senior study and beyond. Part of our commitment to helping students explore pathways early – because it's never too early to start planning for the future.

🧬🩺🔬NextGen Open Day 2025: Future Healthcare Leaders is next week and we couldn't be more excited!

This is an exceptional opportunity for Year 8-12 students interested in medicine, science, and research to explore future career pathways.

📅 Wednesday, 26 November 2025
📍 Garvan Main Auditorium, Darlinghurst

What students will experience:

- Hands-on activities with real researchers and clinicians
- University pathway advice from UAC
- Behind-the-scenes look at cutting-edge medical research
- Q&A on subjects, prerequisites, and career options

It's a rare chance for students to step inside the world of healthcare and meet the people shaping its future.

We're proud to support this event alongside the St Vincent’s Health Network Sydney AMR Precinct, Garvan Institute of Medical Research, Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, UNSW Medicine & Health, and Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).

We strongly encourage parents, educators, and career advisers to share this opportunity with interested students.
