Brandon Mack has spent 16 years helping students find their place at Rice University and beyond. He began as an admission counselor at his alma mater, rising to Associate Director of Admissions, where he leads both domestic and international recruitment and chairs selection committees across Rice's undergraduate schools. Nationally, Brandon lends his voice to the National Association for College Admission Counseling and serves on several of its committees.
For juniors and seniors actively preparing or submitting applications, these monthly strategy sessions go deep on the tactical decisions that shape outcomes. Former admissions officers who have reviewed thousands of applications lead focused sessions on topics like crafting standout essays, choosing between Early Action and Early Decision, building a compelling activities list, and requesting letters of recommendation that make an impact. Speakers and topics change monthly, with hosts from institutions including Harvard, Georgetown, Rice, and Tulane. Sessions are ideal for 11th and 12th graders as they navigate application timelines and components, but students (and families of students) even as young as middle school will benefit from the insight and strategy into the admissions process. Register for the series and you'll receive alerts before each session as well as recordings when each session completes.
