Inside the admissions process at George Washington University - The Washington Post
Exclusive access reveals much about often-secretive discussions about who to let in to college, who to deny.
She scrutinized a supplementary essay on what excited the student about GW. She noted a campus visit. She called the student's interest solid and specific. Sometimes, she said, applicants write mostly about Washington, D.C., rather than the university. Or they just write about themselves. Not helpful.

That's a pretty decent SAT score. What was the math subscore?
This essay endears him to me. I'm biased because I think he's charming.
I think he really could handle the work. He also brings some diversity. What's giving me pause is that weak 'Why GW' essay.

10 things the college admissions office won’t tell you - MarketWatch
What would-be college students need to know about those high-stakes, secretive admissions decisions.
Many admissions officers are now giving more weight to Advanced Placement tests, which, like the SAT, are administered by the College Board. In 2015, a record 2.5 million students took AP tests, up 8.6% from a year earlier and up more than 25% from 2011, when a little under 2 million students sat for AP exams. AP tests essentially reflect a test taker's mastery of college-level skill and knowledge; successful test takers often can skip some entry-level college courses, and some scores can count toward a major.
"Most deans feel pretty good about AP results since they are based on more of a tight curriculum," Hiss said.

Inside the college admissions process
This is a nerve-wracking time of year for high school seniors, as they've submitted college admissions and are now just waiting to hear back. TODAY went behind the scenes of the college admissions process at Grinnell, a top-ranked, highly selective liberal arts college in Iowa. Seth Allen, dean of admission and financial aid at Grinnell College, answers questions from a TODAY producer about wha
https://www.today.com/parents/inside-college-admissions-process-2D80556206
One question on your supplemental application was asking the applicant to choose another mascot for the school and explain the choice. What does a seemingly innocuous question like that tell you about a student?
Well, it's interesting the students who take on that question who actually believe that Grinnell is searching to replace its mascot. We're not. It's a purely rhetorical question. We ask students to actually demonstrate to us what do they know about Grinnell, our past history and where we're going in the future, and in a creative way. This is a way to get them to parrot back what they learn in the view book and on the website. So this again is a little bit about why are you looking at Grinnell?
What are you favorite answers?
I think my favorite answers are the students who think a bit outside of the lines, who aren't constrained by thinking of some pithy mascot answer but are really expansive. And actually when they answer that question, what they're answering is a lot more about them than it is the college.
