Ever wondered what college admissions officers truly consider when reviewing applications? It’s more than just your grades and test scores. In fact, many colleges, especially the most selective ones, take a holistic approach to reviewing applications. Here’s what that means: Holistic Review Beyond Grades: Admissions officers are looking at the whole picture. Your Letters of Recommendation are crucial, as they offer insights into your abilities, character, and how you contribute to your school and community. Additionally, showing Demonstrated Interest—such as visiting the campus, attending info sessions, or engaging with the school online—can signal your genuine desire to attend and increase your chances of acceptance. Selective Colleges and Universities: For top-tier institutions, the criteria go beyond academic excellence. They’re seeking students who bring unique perspectives and can make meaningful contributions to the campus community. Your application should reflect what sets you apart and how you’ll enrich the college environment. Interviews also play a key role, offering a chance for you to express your enthusiasm and demonstrate your fit with the school’s culture and values.

Encouraging student participation in WBL is crucial, especially when it comes to hands-on and off-site opportunities like job shadows. But what happens when students don't show up? Our recent I-WIN group discussion explored various approaches to address this challenge, including: 1️⃣ Embedding job shadows in curriculum and linking to a grade: Tying the experience to academic grades not only ensures participation but also connects the job shadow directly to academic requirements by integrating them into coursework. 2️⃣ Setting expectations upfront: We deliberated on the idea of establishing clear and consistent guidelines upfront including completing deadlines for prerequisites to attend. 3️⃣ Opt-out option: Many school districts shared how they use career interest surveys to recruit students for job shadows and are curious about the idea of offering students the chance to opt-out early in the process to help mitigate last-minute no-shows. While punitive measures were discussed, we felt it’s important to foster communication and understanding as students mature and may find themselves more ready and interested in engaging in a job shadow. Nonetheless, ensuring accountability remains a priority to uphold the value of these experiential learning opportunities. What strategies have you found effective in addressing student attendance for job shadows? Please share in the comments!

👩🏫✨”Declining confidence in higher education is tied to a number of factors, but none are more important and actionable than improving the work readiness of graduates. In order to make higher education more relevant in the eyes of the American public, colleges should ensure that the education they deliver is relevant for students seeking a good job: the majority of students identify work outcomes as their primary reason to attend. Although political polarization is among the major factors behind declining confidence, the steps that colleges can take toward mitigating it are less obvious. With regard to work readiness, however, there are clear actions colleges can take to restore confidence in higher education.” (B.
