How Top Universities Perfect Student Selection
For decades, top universities have leveraged their alumni networks not only for engagement and fundraising but as a cornerstone of their admissions process. And now, such an elite approach to international student selection is available to universities everywhere, thanks to breakthrough innovations like INSELECT.
Harvard University is renowned for its rigorous and highly selective admissions process, widely regarded as the gold standard in higher education. Every year, over 40,000 students apply to Harvard, but only about 2,000—around 4-5%—are admitted. This process ensures that the university attracts and enrolls the brightest minds globally.
What makes Harvard’s selection process so effective? Beyond academic performance, the admissions team assesses candidates holistically. A key part of this approach involves interviews conducted by a vast network of Harvard alumni, who bring invaluable insight into the applicant’s character, motivation, and fit for the institution.
This elite approach to admissions ensures that the university attracts and enrolls the brightest minds globally. The strategy every university aspires to adopt.
