Ever wondered what happens behind closed doors in a college admissions office? At our annual Case Studies Night, 10th-grade families stepped into the shoes of admissions officers.

The twist? Nobody knew which university the director represented until the final reveal! It was an eye-opening look at how admissions teams evaluate holistic fit beyond just a brand name.
