Description

It’s hard to know what colleges are actually looking for in students. Get the insider information from a former admissions officer at UPenn who will debunk a few myths and talk about the holistic approach that admissions officers take to evaluate if a student should be accepted.

Abby Shepherd, a former Admissions Officer, now a Customer Success Manager at Prompt, will dive into the 5 traits that determine if you’ll be successful in college. She’ll give an overview of how a student’s application is reviewed and scored and what will increase your chances of getting accepted. (Hint: essays help a lot!)

Undergrad College: Georgetown University '21

Major: History; Minors in French and Russian

Work Experience: The college applications process is all about responding to one question: who are you? I am passionate about helping students craft a creative answer. I have been helping students gain admission to the T25 schools of their dreams since 2018, when I first started working for CollegeVine as an Applications Consultant, and later, blog writer. Soon after graduating from Georgetown, I started my own company to make college advising my career. I currently mentor students through one-on-one consulting sessions and essay editing.

My Admissions Story: My admissions journey began with a desire to dive into the humanities and have an adventure of self-discovery. I applied to East Coast liberal arts schools that value creativity and specialize in teaching languages, history, and international affairs. One thin deferral letter came in the fall, a thicker envelope came in the spring, and with that, I was accepted to my dream school — Georgetown University!
