Cirkled In\u2019s Official Response<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reinforcing Holistic Admissions Decisions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s Supreme Court decision will significantly impact recruitment and admissions across the United States. Regardless of personal views, one thing is clear: enrollment practices will evolve. How institutions identify and recruit students is bound to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this shift, the responsibility falls on us as adults. We must ensure that all youth receive opportunities, regardless of their background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cirkled In was built on the belief that a holistic view of a student\u2019s lived experiences provides the best assessment of their potential success. For seven years, we have empowered students to share their multidimensional stories and navigate their post-secondary journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In light of the ruling, Cirkled In\u2019s mission is even more relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partnering for the Future<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As institutions refine their recruitment and admissions strategies, we welcome the opportunity to collaborate. We are positioned to help you enroll students who are most likely to succeed \u2014 without relying on a single metric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wish you the very best during this period of change. Please reach out anytime to continue the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Personal Reflection: Are We There Yet?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step toward recovery is acknowledging there is a problem. Once we accept that, the path forward becomes clearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all want an equal society \u2014 one with fair pay, meaningful opportunity, and unbiased evaluation in college admissions and employment. We also aspire to a race-blind and color-blind system in every aspect of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That future is possible \u2014 but only if we all begin on equal footing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are we there yet?
Absolutely not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do we want to get there?
Absolutely yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until true equality exists, our work continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Society is still in recovery. Progress requires sustained effort. In college admissions, this means maintaining a holistic review process. Access to resources often depends on a person\u2019s zip code. Until every community has equal access, background still matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let\u2019s continue the work \u2014 until we no longer need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And until then, we must keep asking: Are we there yet?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
