We work with representatives from leading colleges and universities, as well as other higher ed partners, to support sustainable change in higher education admissions.

Identify, connect, and engage innovative leaders

and influential institutions willing to lead change in university admissions.

Support colleges and universities

in making necessary shifts to admissions policy and practice within their institutions.

Engage partner institutions as advocates

for sustainable policy and practice change across the field of higher education through advocacy and technical support.

Voices from admissions

From the offices that read the Mastery Transcript.

The Mastery Transcript is a great thing. It helps us understand students' stories in a deeper way.

Karen Richardson

Dean of Admission, Princeton University

There is an authentic voice that we were not getting in our applications. The Mastery Transcript gives us a deeper sense of students' abilities and their potential.

Mark Hatch

VP for Enrollment, Colorado College

When you look at admissions from a holistic perspective, you are much more interested not in the GPA or the grade, but in how the student got there. The Mastery Transcript helps us answer that question.

Zina Evans

Former VP for Enrollment, University of Florida
