We really thought about this concept from the angle of what would print look like if it was truly an integrated print and online communications strategy that took advantage of interactive capabilities and user-generated content,” said Broaddus.

More than anything, the College of William & Mary wanted to surprise prospective students this year. Bright teenagers are inundated with information from colleges, says Henry R. Broaddus, associate provost for enrollment. "We wanted people to open the mailbox," he says, " and go, 'Viewbook, viewbook, viewbook ... spaceship.'

Claremont McKenna SAT Scandal

My second reply came from Henry Broaddus, dean of admission at the College of William and Mary. He spoke on the record.

“This is an especially unfortunate incident, because it arouses even more suspicion and cynicism on the part of the public,” he said. “Admissions of wrongdoing should not be the kind of admissions referred to in our job titles.”

A frequent question is, How do you know you’re making the right number of offers? If you under-enroll a class, you antagonize the money people. And if you over-enroll the class, you antagonize the housing people. In my experience, the money people are a lot meaner.

Help Me Help You

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 14:29:00 -0800

Today I got an email from a colleague on the admission side of the desk.
It was in response to a conversation this admission rep had with one of our students.
This student, as little bit of background, is on the proverbial bubble in terms of admissibility, particularly when it comes to GPA and test scores.
So what can this student do to augment his or her chances at gaining admission?
To answer that question, the college rep quoted one of his favorite lines from one of his favorite movies, Jerry Maguire.

Shepard High School's Shea Schaaf tries to not get too frazzled by the application process. “Once you get into it, it’s easier to be creative. … I just tried to see it as a way to tell them a little bit more about me … to leave my mark," she says.
