About this episode
When a high school student applies to college, their academic profile understandably receives the lion's share of attention. But college admissions recruiters are eager to know more about an applicant than only their grades and standardized test scores. An applicant's character and personal attributes are also important. In this episode, Dr. Riley (from collegeapp101.com) discusses the importance of two admirable personal attributes in college admissions: (1) an applicant's people skills and (2) their ability to leverage personal strengths.
