  • Good but Yale’s institutional priorities and rules get in the way

    The hosts, Mark and Hannah, are genuine people and they provide some useful tidbits. They add some color to the Admissions Officer side of the whole college admissions game

    But… they get can only reveal so much as Yale does not want to publicly disclose things like FGLI quotas, the size of a boost for a recruited athlete or anything similar. They use bright voices when discussing Yale’s Restrictive Early Action trying to dress it up as a positive, when in reality it mostly just prevents applican... more

  • Incredibly helpful with a few flaws

    I absolutely adored this insider look, very entertaining and informative. Only had a few complaints: the stuff about ratings feels very secretive, they say they don’t have them but they also do and refuse to get specific about it. Also I wish they would discuss how Yale differs from other universities a little bit more. This is obviously very Yale centric but they may lead some people astray by saying things that only apply to Yale

  • Mostly unhelpful

    These folks are very articulate and the audio is good but the content is drivel. Getting into schools such as these truly is a crapshoot if you’re not a recruited athlete, moneyed legacy, or target demographic. In fact, the tone of this podcast probably gives people false hope. There are far better (and more practical) admissions podcasts out there.
