Strategies to Promote the Success of Every Student

Program completion is a top concern for many graduate programs. Yet despite pouring over applications and doing your best to predict who will succeed, students drop out or take too long to complete their degree, which is harmful to them as well as to your program’s resources and reputation. How can you ensure that the diligent efforts of your admissions committee pay off?

In this presentation, you’ll learn numerous ways you can strategically and intentionally support students as they strive to meet the expectations of your program, address nonacademic matters such as finances and housing, and navigate their own feelings of self-doubt and wanting to belong.

Benefits, Drawbacks and Value of the GRE Test

Each component of the application packet serves a purpose, and each has its imperfections. Join John Augusto (Georgia State University) and Terry Ackerman (University of Iowa) as they take a deep look at the GRE General Test and its role in a holistic admissions process.

Key takeaways:

Get clarification around the purpose, benefits and limitations of the GRE General Test
Learn how to interpret GRE scores and how to know whether a difference in two applicants' scores is significant or meaningless
Better understand sources of bias in admissions and the role of GRE scores in helping or hindering bias

Understanding Application Criteria to Make Better Admissions Decisions

The reality of graduate admissions is that programs need to make quick decisions about complete strangers based on limited information. But is there a way to improve your decision making? In this session, you’ll learn about the purpose and benefits of various components of the application packet, as well as strategies for mitigating drawbacks of each component to create a holistic, equitable process that works for your program.
