ADMITTED is back for its fifth season! ADMITTED is The Classic's premier college admissions podcast, where we sit down with Townsend Harris seniors and discuss essays and strategies they used to get into their dream schools. In this episode, you will hear Tristan's journey living in Brooklyn and her unique relationship with her name. Growing up with a "boys" name has led to her being more outspoken and finding who she truly is, as she shares in her personal statement. This episode is part one of the conversation with Tristin, including her personal statement and a supplemental essay that helped her get into Northwestern University. Part two will be released in a few days, which will include the continued discussion of the classes she took, extracurricular activities, and the awards she put on her college application.
