About this episode
In addition to an applicant's academic profile, college admissions recruiters are eager to know an applicant's character and personal attributes. The admissions essay is a place for an applicant to address these characteristics in a creative way. In this episode, Dr. Riley (from collegeapp101.com) uses stories and anecdotes to discuss the importance of several admirable attributes: people skills, hospitality, the ability to listen well, personal faithfulness to relationships, and more.
