The Ivies aren't the only path to a world-class education. Get an insider's guide to the Public Ivies and what it actually takes to get in from a former Yale admissions reader and UVA alum.
In today's college admissions landscape, more students and families are taking a closer look at public universities — and for good reason! The Public Ivies, a group of highly selective public universities known for combining academic excellence with strong career outcomes and relative affordability, have become increasingly competitive destinations in their own right. Schools like the University of Michigan, UNC Chapel Hill, UCLA, and the University of Virginia are drawing applicants who might once have looked exclusively at private institutions, making it more important than ever to understand what sets a strong application apart at these schools.
Join Chi Chan, UVA alumnus and former Yale University admissions reader, for an inside look at what it takes to get into the Public Ivies. Chi will draw on his experience both as a graduate of one of the most selective public universities in the country and as someone who has evaluated thousands of applications at the collegiate level, offering practical guidance on how to build a competitive application, craft a compelling personal statement, and approach the process with a clear strategy. Whether a Public Ivy is your first choice or a key part of a balanced college list, this webinar will give you the tools to put your best application forward.
