Admission to top-25 colleges is highly competitive and requires more than strong grades and test scores. In this webinar, led by Former Yale Admissions Officer Stacey Tuttle, students and families will learn what highly selective schools look for in applicants, how academics, extracurricular impact, essays, recommendations, and personal qualities work together in the admissions process, and how to build a compelling application strategy. We’ll also discuss how to evaluate fit, strengthen key areas of the application, and approach the process with realistic expectations.

Stacey Tuttle
Former Yale Admissions Officer
I joined the Yale School of Public Health as Assistant Director of Admissions in 2015, during which time I spent time reviewing applications, advising prospective students, guiding admissions review teams, and traveling with partner schools around the country. I moved to a new role as Associate Director of Student Affairs and Registrar in 2018, and then finally to my current position as Director of Student Affairs and Registrar in 2020. In my current role, I continue to stay in touch with our admissions team; advise current students; develop and maintain student affairs procedures, policies and projects; and manage relevant educational technology and systems. Outside of my work at Yale, I taught in the Public Health Department at Southern Connecticut State University until 2021. As a first generation college student, I have a passion for advising young scholars around their career and college interests, and am excited to be work with students on their educational journeys.
