[quote=Anonymous]I've posted before, but the most helpful thing for me over the last few cycles (2 kids) was listening to podcasts with former AOs where they walked through an application. It was eye-opening. Ingenius Prep had one walking through some Yale, Dartmouth & JHU applications last winter: https://insidetheadmissionsoffice.podbean.com/e/107-what-former-admissions-officers-really-think-of-these-common-applications/ Here's a new one they have for CalTech: https://insidetheadmissionsoffice.podbean.com/ Also, the Dean Coffin/Dartmouth podcast walked through the AO committee process - makes you realize that they are looking for something "different" or unique. So doing MUN, DECA, HOSA, marching band etc isn't the right strategy. And of course there's DCUM's fav: YCBK (filter through the old episodes to find the roundtable with the counselors). If you have the time, I think a lot of the 3rd party podcasts have some value - just sift through the junk and advertising.[/quote]
