Education Advocate and Admissions Expert, Akil Bello Discusses 'Getting In! Understanding College Admissions with Akil & Friends' on Facebook Live tonight with 'Akil & Friends', March 3, 2022 at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT.

Akil Bello has been an education advocate and admissions expert for over three decades. He is ever present across high school and college campuses as well as conferences about education.

Bello has appeared in two documentaries regarding college admission scandals entitled, Netflix’s 'Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal & The Test' and the 'Art of Thinking.'

Speaking with Mr. Bello we discussed why the college scandal was such a shock to people when cinema has been teasing about the subject all the way back to Rodney Dangerfield's 1986 class, 'Back to School', what we consider diversity, inclusion and what would constitute as a true meritocracy?

An interesting fact he pointed out was that South Dakota has the least amount of university students leaving their home state, which may instantly guarantee their admission to a four year university so those schools can tout having students from all 50 states.

Other topics include campus life, online education, the ranking system and status based on academics versus sports notoriety.
