For this week's installment of The Choice on India Ink, we present our Guidance Office, a forum for readers of The Choice to seek expert advice about college admissions.
The Choice has invited Janet Rapelye, the dean of admission at Princeton University since 2003, to answer select reader questions about applying to college.
Ms. Rapelye, who received a bachelor's degree from Williams College and a master's degree from Stanford University, has 30 years' experience in college admissions. She is looking forward to fielding questions about finding the right college match and detailing what admissions officers look for in college applications.
To pose a question to Ms. Rapelye, please use the comment box in our original post on The Choice. Ms. Rapelye will be reading your questions on The Choice and has agreed to accept questions through Sept. 26. Her first answers are scheduled to appear on The Choice on Monday.
Our Q. and A. with Ms. Rapelye is only the most recent of our Guidance Office sessions, which have drawn representatives from a broad range of colleges and universities, including Michael Barron of the University of Iowa; Dr. Marybeth Gasman and Dr. Walter Kimbrough, who answered questions about the nation's historically black colleges and universities; and Kay McClenney, an expert on community colleges. We encourage you to explore these archived posts and participate in future Guidance Office sessions.
