Ep. 267 | Don’t Believe Them

from PrepWell Podcast with Phil Black Hosted by Phil Black

In this episode, I cast doubt on the reasons many students give as to why they got accepted to [enter highly-selective college name]. In this case, Harvard. There are many TikTok and Instagram videos that capture admitted Harvard students' opinions on how they got admitted. I deconstruct their answers and discuss why I think they are wrong. These videos are not particularly helpful, and sometimes give denied (or prospective) students the wrong impression.
