College Candids
Who better to provide advice on the college admissions process than actual college admissions officers? Campus Bound counselors speak with admissions officers regularly to exchange industry knowledge and we share their advice with you through our College Candids videos.
Wonder how test-optional admissions has changed the college admissions process? Hear admissions officers explain this and learn their advice about essay topics, campus visits, and high school preparation for college.
Below is a sampling of clips from interviews we have conducted with a variety of colleges over the last year. We encourage you to take some time to listen to their responses for keen insights into the college process. And watch our Legacy College Candids for older videos if you want to learn more.
