Inside the Mind of an Admissions Officer!
Are you a current high school student or parent eager to learn what it takes to craft a successful college application? Current college students can actually read their admissions file and go behind the scenes of a college admissions committee. Combining these insights with many admission officer interviews, we've created an invaluable presentation to explain the actual admissions rubric you’ll be graded against and all the steps your application goes through to get accepted. AdmitMate founders will demystify what goes on behind the red tape of the admissions process.
This is a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable insights directly from those who were in your shoes not too long ago. Whether you are just starting to think about college or are deep into the application process, this webinar will provide you with the knowledge and confidence you need to succeed.

Speakers

Aalaap Hegde
Hey there! I’m Aalaap Hegde and I’m a sophomore at Stanford University. I was fascinated with cooking and food my whole life, and I’ve centered many of my projects around that passion. I started a YouTube channel and food blog in freshman year, where I showcase unique (and sometimes completely crazy) recipes about plant-based cooking. I’ve also done nutrition research on the effects of plant protein, and started a nonprofit to relay surplus foods from restaurants to soup kitchens. In my free time, I love to play sports (catch me playing tennis and spikeball often) and love to try new restaurants. If you’re interested in the intersection of CS and business or have a unique passion that you’re looking to build an application around, I’m your guy!

Vishnu Veeravalli
Hi! I’m Vishnu Veeravalli, an incoming sophomore at the University of Chicago studying Physics and Mathematics.
I have always been passionate about educational equity and pedagogy. Therefore, in high school, a lot of my portfolio surrounded this theme. For instance, I created a non-profit where top scientists (including Nobel-prize winners!) could communicate their findings with the lay public. I also volunteered to teach workshops in rural schools in India, and did research on the human mind in order to understand how it learns.
