This week’s interview (35:32): Mark and Julia interview Lee Coffin about, “Understanding Dartmouth College” 1 of 3. Part 1:
- Lee gives his elevator pitch to explain how Dartmouth is different from other IVY’s and their overlaps; I’ve said, Christina Lopez from Barnard is our best
- Lee talks about one personal quality that he really looks for when he is reading a file
- Lee talks about why PQ’s fly under the radar of the things that are important to an admission officer and he uses my favorite analogy; he compares the admission process to an employer hiring someone they need in a company
The Dartmouth interview is the College Spotlight for the week. (Length 9 minutes)
