College Admission Movie

College Admission Movie February 24, 2013 Theres a college admission movie coming out in just a few short weeks. Do you plan to see it? We do! In just a few short weeks, Admission will hit theatres. Its a Focus Features movie that stars Tina Fey and Paul Rudd, directed by Paul Weitz. And the main character is a college admissions officer at Princeton University. Thats right a college admission movie. The movie is based on a book written by Jean Hanff Korelitz, a Dartmouth College alumna. According to The Dartmouth, Since her first day at Dartmouth in 1979, Jean Hanff Korelitz ’83 knew she wanted to become a writer. Her career began in the oak-paneled nooks of Sanborn Library, her favorite place to write. The bright and old-fashioned space even appears in her fifth novel, Admission, and her experience at the College in its early years of coeducation color the pages of her work. In order to write about a college admissions officer, Korelitz had to observe the highly selective college admissions process firsthand. So whatd she do? She worked as an application reader at Princeton University. And she also interviewed Dartmouths Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Financial Aid, Maria Laskaris. Said Laskaris as quoted in The Dartmouth, We talked about the fundamental parts of the process and how we focus on students as individuals. Its not often that a movie comes out starring a college admissions officer at an Ivy League school. Were excited to see it and hopefully youll have a chance to check it out. Were curious to see how it does at the box office as the movie brings the college admissions process to moviegoers throughout the world.
