Inside Amherst College Admissions

Inside Amherst College Admissions June 25 The Tina Fey starring movie Admission offered a look inside a highly selective college admissions office. The makers of the movie, Focus Features, even showed Ivy Coach some love! Weve got some rare video footage for our loyal readers. Ever been curious to know and see what goes on inside the halls of admission? Well, we  break down that fourth wall all of the time on this college admissions blog but today, were happy to share with our readers a video of what its like inside the Amherst College Office of Admissions. Amherst, of course, is one of Americas most selective universities, regularly at or near the top of the US News World Report college rankings. In our opinion, Amherst also offers one of the finest undergraduate educations in the world. The two dont always necessarily go hand in hand. So theres that! In the Tina Fey starrer Admission that Focus Features released a while back, viewers got to see what it was like for an applicant to be debated in committee at Princeton University. While fictional, the process portrayed in the movie was very real and entirely accurate except for the fact that the applicant didnt fall through the floor when he or she was denied admission believe it or not. Anyhow, heres a look inside the office of admission of one of Americas finest institutions, Amherst College, with our friend  Tom Parker, Amhersts Dean of Admission, and his team. We hope you enjoy the tour inside Amherst College admissions!
