Last week, we shared guidance on answering the CU Boulder admissions essay and the University of Delaware’s test optional supplemental essays.
#SCRIPPS COLLEGE SUPPLEMENT ESSAY SERIES#
And in the midst of all of this, I served as a college counselor at the Ramaz School in Manhattan for a few years, and that is why I am adamant about students fostering a positive relationship with their school counselor as they navigate this process.īy Jennifer Simons, former admissions officer at Tufts University This is the third in College Coach’s series of posts covering university-specific supplemental essays. I moved from Tufts to take on the Director of Recruitment position at Northeastern University, an institution I admired from across the Charles River for a long while. One of the aspects I loved about admissions, specifically international admissions, where there is a great deal of joint and team travel, is that you learn so much about other colleges and universities, and you realize that colleges are not competitors per se but rather institutions in search of the right student, just as students are searching for the right college. One of the highlights of that time was leading a three-week recruitment tour for 30 admissions officers across India. Subsequently, I served as the Director of International Recruitment for ten years at Tufts University, where my focus was Asia. It was at Connecticut College where I got my first taste of international recruitment. In my subsequent role as Associate Director of Admissions at Connecticut College, I ran the Transfer and Return to College Program for non-traditional students. My first job in admissions at Barnard College allowed me to supervise joint programs with the Jewish Theological Seminary and the Manhattan School of Music, while also running the tour guide programs and traveling throughout the American Midwest. I was fascinated by trying to understand how colleges know how many students to accept and why. My interest in the college application process stems from my own experience navigating the college process mostly by myself, albeit with supportive but hands-off parents.
