Video: ADMITTED is returning for season five and tune in on Youtube or Spotify

Ryan Chen, Editor-in-Chief • July 20, 2025

ADMITTED is back for its fifth season. ADMITTED is The Classic’s premier college admissions podcast, where we sit down with Townsend Harris seniors and discuss essays and strategies they used to get into their dream schools. In this episode, you will hear Tristin’s journey living in Brooklyn and her unique relationship with her name. Growing up with a “boys” name has led to her being more outspoken and finding who she truly is, as she shares in her personal statement. This episode is part one of the conversation with Tristin, including her personal statement and a supplemental essay that helped her get into Northwestern University. Part two will be released in a few days, which will include the continued discussion of the classes she took, extracurricular activities, and the awards she put on her college application. Watch season five at the video link above or listen to the episode on Spotify here.

About the Contributor

Ryan Chen, Editor-in-Chief

Ryan is a junior at Townsend Harris High School, and he plans to pursue a career in business/finance. He enjoys taking photos but wants to improve at “making” photos. His favorite Classic project he worked on is the 2025 FON Saturday night live stream. He will forever remember the moment the song “Dynamite” started playing during the intro segment. After technical difficulties on Friday night, hearing that intro song and knowing that things were working came as a huge relief. His favorite Classic piece created by others is the video “High School Teachers Define Gen Z Slang.” He genuinely didn’t know half of the terms going into the video, and it helped him understand conversations during high school.
