admissions officer

College entry decider

An admissions officer is a person who reviews applications and decides who gets accepted to an institution—typically a college or university, sometimes a private school or hospital.

They evaluate transcripts, test scores, essays, and recommendations: The admissions officer asked about my extracurriculars.

Senior admissions officers may shape institutional enrollment strategy.
