On today's episode I got to sit down with Rick Diaz, the Regional Director of Admission for Southern Methodist University (SMU) and someone I've known for more than 15 years. We have a pretty wide ranging discussion that covers: A behind-the-scenes look at how SMU reads applications and how they shape a class—and what that even means  Then we dive into supplemental essays — in particular the impacts of the Supreme Court's decision to ban race-conscious admission — and how that decision has led to a large number of selective schools changing or adding new supplemental essay prompts.  We nerd out on Rick's favorite supplemental essay—the “Why us” essay—talk a little about college majors and then—I think, Rick maybe has a little a-ha moment about when his interest in his own college major began We play a little game I made up on the chat called “What do students get wrong about…” And finally we discuss dos and don'ts for making a connection with your regional admission officers including (spoiler alert) why you maybe shouldn't show up at their house with a box of their favorite cookies… unless you kinda' want to freak them out a little?  I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.  Play-by-play 0:00 - Welcome to the podcast 01:32 - Who is Rick Diaz? 02:35 - What's Rick's role at Southern Methodist University (SMU)? 06:04 - How does SMU read applications? 08:44 - How long does Rick spend on reading an application?  10:42 - What are institutional priorities and how do they shape decisions in a college? 13:05 - What is the relationship between supplemental essays and institutional priorities? 16:29 - What are colleges looking for when their supplemental question is “Why us?” 17:21 - This year's supplemental prompts at SMU 18:14 - Should you talk about your diversity in your college essays? 21:01 - An exercise in diversity 23:32 - What are colleges thinking about right now surrounding supplemental essays? 25:55 - Rick reacts to supplemental prompts from other schools 26:07 - Rick reacts to a prompt about being different 27:34 - Rick reacts to a prompt about your identity and goals 29:41 - How did Rick figure out his major in college? 32:46 - What is demonstrated interest and how important is it? 38:16 - Why do colleges care who is more likely to enroll? 40:25 - Do's and Don't's of reaching out to your admissions officer 43:01 - What students get wrong about admissions 43:14 - How important are extracurriculars & summer planning? 44:41 - What about the personal statement? 47:03 - Is it true that the personal statement or supplemental essay can impact some students more than others? 49:00 - What about Standardized testing? 51:00 - What Rick loves about this work 52:41 - What should families keep in mind during this process? 57:07 - Wrap-up and additional resources Resources The “If You Really, Really Knew Me” Exercise (Template) This practical, comprehensive exercise helps students generate a list of identities, skills, qualities, and skills they can share with colleges.

On the third season of Entitled, we're circling back to the first fundamental right: the freedom of speech. Lawyers and law professors Claudia Flores and Tom Ginsburg begin this season by peeling back the curtains of how this right is currently playing out at universities across the country. In recent years, there have been tensions — and intense clashes — around speakers invited to campus, what professors are allowed to say in the classroom, and what subject matter should even be allowed to be taught. Now, with many of these cases making their way to the courts, is free speech at universities entering a dangerous new era?In this episode, they speak with Robert Post, Sterling Professor of Law at Yale Law School; and Ben Wizner, Director of the Speech, Privacy and Technology Project at the ACLU; and Komi Frey, Director of Faculty Outreach at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.

Dame Joan Collins has dominated the stage and screen for over seven decades, starting her career at just 17. Best known for her roles in the 1980s TV phenomenon Dynasty and Hollywood Golden Age films, she has written a new memoir Behind the Shoulder Pads: Tales I Tell My Friends. She speaks to Emma about her glittering career, sexism in Hollywood and turning 90. Students are more likely than other groups of people to be subjected to sexual assault. A study soon to be published by researchers at Oxford University has found that one in four female students at the university had experienced some sort of sexual assault in the preceding year. Now, universities are said to be spending increasingly more of their time investigating complex sexual misconduct cases. But how equipped and effective are they in investigating such cases? And why are students putting their faith in university hearings rather than going to the police?  Emma discusses with Professor Steve West, Vice Chancellor of University of West of England, Eleanor Laws KC, leading criminal barrister and Geraldine Swanton, a lawyer working with the higher and further education sector. A new report from a commission at the medical journal The Lancet looks at how cancer disproportionately impacts women. “Women, Power and Cancer” puts the case forward for an intersectional feminist approach to cancer - with the goal of transforming the ways women interact with the cancer health system. The commission has been headed up by Dr Ophira Ginsburg from the National Cancer Institute in the US. Presented by Emma Barnett Producer: Louise Corley

In a world about to be dominated by technologies like AI and ML, and Chat GPT and run by machines computing, sensing, and learning on the edge, do we need more people with university degrees, or do we need a whole new approach to educating ourselves through our lives? It's an existential moment for how we collectively consider our own educational investments and debt as well as the decisions we might be making for our children or grandchildren. The idea that a university education sets you up for life has been questioned for the first time in recent years. A typical US university education will cost between $120,000 for a four-year degree to over $250,000. It's increasingly becoming common in the US for this to take six years and come closer to $300,000. Average college debt might take twenty years to pay back, and the interest rates (even with current inflationary levels) make this one of the most expensive decisions we will make in our lives, and it is often made in our teens. Is there a better way to do this? Peter Thiel's, Thiel Fellowship kicked off a set of alternative ideas for educating for the future based on living real learning experiences and building something early, ahead of a possible university experience.

At the Universities of Florida and Porto, and in close collaboration with CAE Healthcare, Willem van Meurs, PhD in control engineering, Toulouse, France (1991), designed simulators for medical student education, anesthesia, intensive care, emergency medicine, pediatrics, and labor and delivery. These and similar devices all but eliminated training of basic interventions and common critical incidents on live animals and real patients. Pedagogical conditions can be optimized without concern for patient safety. Total sales of the simulators developed by the teams Dr. van Meurs led or participated in now exceed 1 billion dollars. These simulators rely on mathematical models of cardiorespiratory physiology and pharmacology. He has a special interest in fetal and neonatal physiology. He is a past president of SESAM and the author of Modeling and Simulation in Biomedical Engineering, McGraw-Hill (2011), and of The Dolls' Engineer, a personal journey through three decades of medical simulation, SimEdita (2023).

Free speech is probably one of the most polarizing public topics of debate. And those arguments only become more intense when it comes to free expression on college and university campuses. Should professors be allowed to say whatever they want? What about speakers being invited to campus? Who gets to say what is acceptable and unacceptable?The University of Chicago has had a unique and long history of defending free expression, and this year is building upon that commitment by launching The Chicago Forum on Free Inquiry and Expression. That forum is being led by renowned UChicago law professor Tom Ginsburg. He joins our podcast along with President Paul Alivisatos to talk about why universities must have a commitment to free inquiry—and how this new forum plans to promote free and open discourse, while addressing present-day challenges.

Anna M. chats with Dr. Georgie Buckley, a dietitian and postdoctoral researcher who currently works as an eating disorder and body image consultant. Georgie is also a queer, neurodivergent woman, and a trauma survivor with a history of an eating disorder. They discuss: The nature of disordered eating and body image issues are among pre-teen, teen and collegiate athletes. The things that need to happen not just to raise more awareness, but shake things up so prevention becomes a core tenet of all youth and school sports programs. How youth sports has evolved into a system where kids tend to be pushed to specialize earlier than in previous decades, and the impact this can have on a young athlete's mental and physical health. Ways for a parent or caregiver to handle a situation where a pre-teen or teenager expresses anxiety about their body, their weight, or their food intake. Links:  Georgie's Website Sunny Side Up Nutrition Podcast  Lutz, Alexander & Associates Nutrition Therapy Pinney Davenport Nutrition https://thirdwheeled.com/ https://m8.design/ https://www.sonics.io/ About Georgie: I have a Bachelor of Science, a Master of Nutrition, a Master of Dietetic Practice and a PhD in psychology. I.e. I'm a very proud education lover who spent many many years in Universities and can contextualize the experiences we have through academic literature...not to mention critique the massive gaps research can offer the most marginalized of us. My PhD explored disordered eating in current and former athletes, whilst critiquing the systems and cultures that cause and maintain disruptions to our food and body relationship. I have worked in and alongside prestigious international universities, major sporting organizations and inclusive clinical eating disorder settings. My favorite places to work are the ones that value the individual and their experiences, ones that understand how inequity happens, and ones that value an individual for who they are at their core - their chaos and messiness included. This is what I bring to my consulting work. For me, I am so lucky and grateful to have recovered from my own eating disorder and body image concern experiences. I have also learnt to accept my own brain and body and appreciate nothing more than joyful experiences with food and gentle movement. I competed at a top national level in athletics for over 10 years and will always have a special interest in protecting those who are vulnerable and marginalized in sporting environments.
