This episode we’re talking about admissions applications and essays for rural students. Dr. Matt Newlin is joined by co-host is Jay Kauffin. Jay attended McMinn County High School in Athens, Tennessee and is now a junior at Yale University studying Political and Computer Science. We talk about his transition to college and how the application process can be improved for rural students.
Our guest is Corinne Smith. Corrine is an undergraduate admissions officer at Yale University where she oversees all rural outreach and recruitment. She also grew up in a small town an hour outside of Chicago. In April 2022, Corinne Smith and Ann Merrell published the College Essay Journal: A Mindful Manual for College Applications. We discuss the book in-depth during our conversation. Corinne is currently pursuing her doctorate in Diversity and Equity in Education through the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her research focuses on the intersectional identities of rural students and the college access barriers they face.
