Why Do Strong Students Get Rejected?
Your child may have the GPA, the test scores, the extracurriculars — and still fall short. That’s because Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UCLA don’t just admit the “best.”
They build a class around specific, and often invisible, institutional priorities. Quincy knows. At UC Berkeley, he reviewed tens of thousands of applications during record-low admit cycles, helping shape the classes that families dream about. In this exclusive webinar, Quincy will explain how admissions officers evaluate applicants and what convinces them that a student belongs on campus.
01
The #1 mistake families make — and why even top students are rejected
02
How applications are read inside admissions offices — and what makes officers stop, re-read, or move on
03
The institutional priorities that shape every class — from Berkeley’s in-state quotas to Stanford’s focus on innovation and UCLA’s push for leadership
04
Why “well-rounded” often backfires — and the distinctive profiles these schools reward
05
The strategies Crimson families used to earn 800+ offers to Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UCLA
