Standing Out in College Admissions: The Most Common Mistakes and Misconceptions
28-May-2026
Join Joel Butterly, CEO of InGenius Prep, and Matthew Rosenbaum, Chief of Staff at InGenius Prep and Former Admissions Officer at UChicago, as they discuss the most important driving factors in admissions at elite schools, and the most common misconceptions from families and students.
Families will get an inside view into how institutions make decisions, why they make those decisions the way they do, and how you can maximize your probability of success. Get an exclusive look into data/insights on a school-specific basis from InGenius Prep’s admissions officers, including non-public data on international applicants.
Attendees will learn how to craft a successful strategy for college admissions throughout high school, ranging from how to select a passion/interest, how to build expertise within that passion, and how to know if you are academically qualified for your target schools. This event is geared towards parents with kids ages 13-17.
