Getting In

Every year, hundreds of thousands of high school students apply for college, competing for spaces in colleges and universities all over the world. Applying for college is a process and can be overwhelming. This exciting card game introduces players to the various components of the admissions application process. The goal is to simulate the process in a general way by providing insight on the various parts of a college application file. After all players receive two schools to "apply" to, players take turns, drawing cards, and adding various requirements cards to their school's portfolios. There are also action cards you can play on other player's applications to "lose" specific documents or otherwise cause them extra work in their application. The winner is the first person to complete successful applications to two schools. This game is endorsed by the Michigan College Access Network (MCAN).
