Scott Alexander

I came to College Coach after working in college admissions at five highly selective colleges and universities. I began my professional career at Connecticut College where, in addition to reviewing and making decisions on applications, I coordinated on-campus programming, introduced enrollment initiatives, managed the waitlist, liaised with the arts departments, and collaborated with financial aid. At Colby and Bates colleges, I held director-level admissions positions overseeing international admission, recruitment travel, strategic planning, communications, and marketing. More recently, I served as an application reader at Brandeis and Brown universities, reading for both first-year and transfer admission. Throughout my career, I read more than 27,000 undergraduate applications from every corner of the United States and over 150 countries! In addition, I’ve presented at professional admission conferences, both nationally and internationally, on topics including international financial aid, standardized testing, and ethics.
