In this episode, Lisa discusses:

  • Trends in highly competitive majors like computer science, nursing, engineering, and business
  • The importance of aligning high school coursework and extracurricular activities with the intended major
  • The differences between liberal arts colleges and universities in admissions by major.
  • Three categories of how colleges handle admissions by major: direct admission, mixed approach, and applying to the university as a whole.

Key Takeaways:

  • Most universities, even those that don't admit directly to a major, still consider a student's intended major in the admissions process
  • Only 4 out of 50 state flagship universities take a truly open approach to not pressing students on their intended major
  • Universities are looking for alignment between the applicant and what they’re looking to major in (even if they don’t admit students directly to a major).
  • Using well-crafted questions and templates, families can gather the info they need to build a realistic, strategic college list.

“I want to emphasize to my listeners the need for early planning and informed decision-making while our kids are still at home under our roof because once they step foot on campus, the colleges are not communicating with the parents…Your student has to fully engage and take advantage of the resources on campus. And I’ve found that the quality of resources vary from needs improvement to really fantastic.” – Lisa Marker Robbins
