🚨 Former Cornell Admissions Officer Reveals: What Makes a Student Stand Out?

Many families begin thinking seriously about college admissions in 11th grade, but in reality, a strong and memorable student profile is built much earlier.

From 9th to 11th grade, students should be developing their academic interests, meaningful activities, leadership experiences, and personal direction. But many families still wonder:

❓ What should students focus on at each stage of high school?
❓ Which activities truly stand out to admissions officers?
❓ After junior year ends, how should students prepare for the application season ahead?

Join iBridge Education for a special webinar featuring Shawn, former Cornell University admissions director, who will share insights from a real admissions review perspective, along with student case studies and long-term planning strategies for grades 9–11.

📌 Webinar Topics Include:
✨ How students can build a competitive profile throughout 9th–11th grade
✨ What makes an experience truly meaningful in the admissions process
✨ Key strategies for the summer before application season
✨ Real student case studies and planning priorities for different grade levels

🎙 Featured Speaker: Shawn
Former Director of Undergraduate Admissions Operations & Associate Director of Admissions, Cornell University
Former Assistant Dean of Admission, University of Virginia
20+ years of experience reviewing applications at top universities

🚨 Why Do So Many “Strong” Common App Essays Still Get Rejected?

The biggest problem is often not weak writing — it’s writing that feels forgettable.

Too many essays become:
❌ A list of achievements
❌ A rewritten resume
❌ “Perfect” on paper, but missing personality

And after reading hundreds of applications, admissions officers are still left wondering:

“Who is this student, really?”
