Encore: Application Trends to Watch in 2021, and a Look Back at 2020 [Episode 411]

Thanks for joining me for the 411th episode of Admissions Straight Talk.

I am taking a week off for family time this week. As a result I decided to air an encore of our most popular podcast so far in 2021. It actually is a solo podcast that I did for our 400^th episode back in January entitled Application Trends to Watch in 2021, and a Look Back at 2020.

As one application cycle winds down to a close and the next one starts up, It’s a good time to review some of the points I raised in that episode. I discussed:

1. the application surge at graduate schools in many different fields and how to respond to it.
   
   
2. The increasing availability of test optional programs and test waivers at programs that still require aptitude tests.
   
   
3. Reflections as we move forward, hopefully away from the 2020 pandemic.

For the MBA wannabes among you, especially if you are concerned about your GPA and test score, I’ve got a masterclass for you! I’m presenting Get Accepted to Top MBA Programs with Low Stats on Wednesday April 7, and you’re invited. You can accept this invitation at accepted.com/411MBA and reserve your seat today! It’s free.

I assume that many of you are also taking a spring break right now be it for a day or two or a whole week or more. I hope you get to spend it with loved ones. Have a wonderful time and thanks for listening to the encore of Application Trends to Watch in 2021, and a Look Back at 2020.
