Wait-listed? AdmissionsCheckup.com Offers Expert Application Review

April 8, 2014 – After spending months visiting colleges, taking standardized exams, filling out applications, and writing essays, you’ve been wait-listed!!! How could they? But isn’t the better question, Why did they?

 

It is possible to improve one’s chances of admission after being deferred or wait-listed.  AdmissionsCheckup.com (www.admissionscheckup.com ), founded by Redding resident Stephanie Klein Wassink, is a network of former admissions officers who evaluate prospective students’ applications. They provide specific feedback on the application before it is submitted and they can clarify why a student was wait-listed, and possibly help a student get admitted from the wait-list.
