Fresh data RNLs research studies show a big disconnect between what higher education offers and what students need.

Happy 2025! Its January, and many round 2 applicants are waiting for business school interview invites. I am frequently asked what it means if you are offered a business school interview and what it means if you arent. Business School Interview Invite = Good Sign A few schools, like Kellogg, automatically interview the majority of applicants. A handful of others guarantee you an interview if you apply by a certain deadline.

When you send your teen off to college, theres no denying its excruciating to let go. And while its true that physically removing yourself from their body when its time to say goodbye is literally painful (and something that still causes me stress four years later), thats not what Im talking about. Its the letting go of the hundreds of things youve done for them for the past 18 years that can be excruciating yet vitally important (and even exhilarating).

As I reviewed the new IPEDS data release last week, I was looking for the data and intelligence that would be most helpful for online enrollment leaders to have in hand to underpin and inform this years success. These points, in combination with key trends that became clear in other sources I reviewed late last year will enable online leaders to succeed this year as well as plan for the future.

I thought my days of going on field trips were over once I started college, but this past fall term, I was proven wrong. With the 2024 election in full swing, last term I was excited to take PS101: The 2024 Election, the special topics class taught by Prof. Mike Alvarez. As a political science double major (yes, Caltech does have humanities majors!), I was excited for the chance to dive into current events and politicssomething most of my classes don’t typically cover.
