In this podcast series, we break down the complex game that is elite college admissions and the strategies and pitfalls students need to adopt or beware of if they hope to win admission to one of America’s top colleges.

“The Game” is hosted by Sam Hassell and brought to you by Great Minds Advising.

Sam graduated from the University of Southern California and is a published scientist, having spent four years as a neuroscience researcher at Columbia University. Building upon his experiences in research and academia—as well as over a decade in educational services—Sam spearheaded the Great Minds Advising program, a premium college consulting service based in the New York Metropolitan Area and serving students nationwide from NYC to Silicon Valley.

Great Minds Advising’s unique, hands-on mentorship program and its deep insight into the application review process and the psychology of admission officers have earned the company a nation-leading track record of excellence, with 100% of its students gaining admission to top-choice schools in the 2023–24 application cycle.

Its students have recently gained admission to Princeton, Columbia, Yale, Stanford, Penn, Duke, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, WashU, and UC-Berkeley, among many others; are historically admitted to the Ivy League at a rate 12x the national average; and have earned over $1.5M in merit scholarships since 2020 (including a full scholarship to Duke).

For the first time, in this podcast, Sam and his team reveal the secrets and strategies they have used to help their students consistently beat the game of elite college admissions.
