The college admissions process is broken in a lot of ways, but one of the worst is how it makes students internalize rejection as a reflection of their worth. Here's what most people don't realize: admissions decisions are shaped by institutional needs that have nothing to do with you. A college might need geographic diversity, so a student from an underrepresented state gets the nod over someone with identical — or even stronger — credentials. Your reader might be on their 47th app of the day.

College admissions is broken - on purpose. By keeping their admissions criteria secret, colleges make it impossible for students to know exactly why they did - or didn’t - get accepted. It keeps us distracted fighting over acceptances while legacies (the children of alumni) and athletes get pipelined in without question. #collegeadmissions #collegeadmission #collegeapplications #collegeapplication #collegeapp #collegeapps #collegeapplicationprocess #affirmativeaction #dei #diversityequityinclusi
