Most colleges promise that applicants will get what they call a “holistic review,” not one based only on grades or test scores. Still, some parts of the application matter more than others, and for many colleges, that includes high school course selection, the grades students receive, and test scores. Even if a school is test-optional in admissions, most still use test scores when it comes to awarding financial aid.

In this webinar, bestselling author Jeff Selingo, who spent a year inside the college admissions process for his book, Who Gets In and Why, and has written about higher education for 25 years, will outline what really matters for getting into college as well as interview a veteran admissions leader, Matthew McLendon, Executive Director of Enrollment Management at the University of Alabama.
