Admissions officers are professionals who work for educational institutions, such as colleges and universities. Their primary responsibility is to evaluate applications from prospective students. They review academic records, personal statements, and letters of recommendation to determine which candidates are the best fit for their institution. In addition to evaluating applications, admissions officers also represent their schools at college fairs and information sessions. They provide guidance to students about the application process and help answer questions regarding admission requirements. Their goal is to select a diverse and talented group of students who will contribute positively to the campus community.
