This week we feature a conversation with Ed Devine, a long time admissions professional who always brings interesting and valuable perspectives to the table. Unfortunately, our conversation was cut short by a technology fail, but not without a lot of great insights from the treasure trove of Devine anecdotes. It is telling that the “sticky” stories, the ones that stay with an admissions professional for life, are usually those students believe aren’t worth telling. Yet when the experiential details of the mundane are told through an individual’s unique prism, it somehow becomes compelling in a way that can differentiate an applicant from their peers.
