Harvard, Yale, MIT: The Realities of Highly Selective College Admissions

Perfect Grades. High Test Scores. Strong Activities. Why Would Selective Colleges Still Say No?

Your teen is working hard. They’ve got the grades, the résumé, maybe even some awards. But now that a new school year is underway, the pressure of selective admissions is already building. Families aiming for schools like Harvard, Yale, or MIT are left wondering:

That’s exactly why we’re hosting this event: to give parents real answers, not recycled myths.

On September 15, join Kevin McMullin, Collegewise Founder and Chief Education Officer, for an eye-opening look into the realities of highly selective admissions. Kevin has spent over 25 years guiding families and has seen firsthand what admissions officers truly value when reviewing applications that all look “perfect” on paper.

• Why equally accomplished students can have dramatically different admissions outcomes
• 3 traits selective colleges consistently look for (beyond grades and test scores)
• How AI tools  and shifting university priorities are shaping this year’s decisions
• Practical ways parents can help teens showcase themselves without piling on more tasks and more stress
