Behind the Scenes of an Admission Office, w/ Tom Campbell (Pomona College)

Tom Campbell is Assistant Dean of Admissions at Pomona College (at the time of recording.) In this sprawling session, we covered: -What happens after you hit submit through when you receive your decision? -How did the Test-Optional policy impact admission decisions this year—and how are colleges like Pomona able to create a class without standardized tests? -How was application reading different from past years? -Essays: What do you look for in a great personal statement? How much do essays matter? Can they ever hurt your chances? ✌️WHO AM I? ✌️ I’m Ethan (College Essay Guy) and my goal is to bring more ease, joy, purpose, and access to the college admission process. I wrote two Amazon bestsellers on college essays and each year my team and I reach more than 1MM students and counselors via www.collegeessayguy.com. 🧠 MY UPCOMING + ONDEMAND *PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN COURSES 🧠 Student Courses: https://www.collegeessayguy.com/students Counselor Courses: https://www.collegeessayguy.com/couns... *All my courses are pay-what-you-can. 💯 WORK WITH ME & MY TEAM 💯 One-on-one: https://www.collegeessayguy.com/one-o... ✍ RESOURCES ✍ 📖 Free Personal Statement Guide: https://bit.ly/ps-free-guide 🎙 Podcast: https://bit.ly/CEGPodcast 📘 College Admission Essentials: bit.ly/3qdEklN 📙 College Essay Essentials: bit.ly/3vIjtbs 🌍 SOCIAL 🌍 📸 Instagram:   / collegeessayguy   🐦 Twitter:   / collegeessayguy   👍 Facebook:   / collegeessayguy   ✋ QUESTIONS? ✋ Leave a comment on one of my YouTube videos or follow me on Instagram. 👍🏻 Your likes & comments tell YouTube this is quality content and help me grow the channel.
