๐The honest answer to "why only 25?" is that in June we did not have enough people to do it properly. Admissions support is not a lecture hall. One mentor cannot carry fifty students and still read every essay draft at 1 a.m.
So we spent the 2 month fixing the bottleneck.
New to the Agora Aid team since June:
โ Kelly Britt, a former admission officer at ๐ณStanford, and at its Graduate School of Education. She was the reader. She gave the scores. Thousands of files. Now she reads yours before you send it. Review Team
โ Aleksandra Avramenko, graduated from โค๏ธ Colby College, double major in Computational Biology and Music, minor in Computer Science. Mentor
โ Ayazhan Abdiken, graduated from ๐ณDartmouth College, BA and BE, double major in Structural Engineering and Music Composition. Mentor
โ Kamila, studying at Washington and Lee University, full ride. Mentor
And there are names we are not releasing tonight. When we do, you will understand why we waited.
This is the strongest admissions team we have ever assembled, and it is not close.
One thing, before tonight:
If you applied in June and never heard back from us, you can apply again. If we did not contact you, you were not selected, and you should have been told that directly. Your old application is closed and carries no weight in this round, positive or negative.
But do not resubmit the same thing and hope for a different result. If nothing in your profile has genuinely changed, the answer will not change either. If something has, a score, a project, a result, a summer of work, we want to see it.
Applications open in 90 minutes.
