What you'll learn:

Junior year is almost over. Senior year, and every application deadline that comes with it, is closer than it feels.

The students who stand out in the admissions process aren't necessarily the ones with the highest GPAs. They're the ones who started early, built a clear strategy, and understood what admissions officers were actually looking for before they hit submit. If that's not where you are yet, this is your moment to get there.

In this exclusive session for NSHSS members, former Yale Admissions Officer Stacey Tuttle walks the Class of 2027 through exactly what you need to know and do before senior year begins. Stacey spent years at Yale reviewing applications, advising prospective students, and guiding admissions teams. As a first-generation college student herself, she brings both the insider expertise and the personal understanding of what it takes to earn a seat at a top school.

A clear picture of where you should be right now in the admissions process and how to close any gaps

A step-by-step roadmap for everything between now and your application deadlines

Insight into how admissions officers evaluate applications at highly selective schools

Actionable next steps you can start on immediately

Senior year and applications will come fast. This session will make sure you're ready for it.

Stacey Tuttle

Former Yale Admissions Officer

I joined the Yale School of Public Health as Assistant Director of Admissions in 2015, during which time I spent time reviewing applications, advising prospective students, guiding admissions review teams, and traveling with partner schools around the country. I moved to a new role as Associate Director of Student Affairs and Registrar in 2018, and then finally to my current position as Director of Student Affairs and Registrar in 2020. In my current role, I continue to stay in touch with our admissions team; advise current students; develop and maintain student affairs procedures, policies and projects; and manage relevant educational technology and systems. Outside of my work at Yale, I taught in the Public Health Department at Southern Connecticut State University until 2021. As a first generation college student, I have a passion for advising young scholars around their career and college interests, and am excited to be work with students on their educational journeys.
