For a guy whose college essay was about being an underachiever, director Paul Weitz really came out on top. He’s got credits like “American Pie,” “In Good Company,” “About a Boy,” and more to his name and, with his latest film, “Admission,” Weitz could strike the ideal union of a modestly scaled production with a very wide appeal.
“Admission” will strike a chord with anyone who’s gone through or plans to go through the college admission process. It stars Tina Fey as Portia Nathan, a Princeton admissions officer dedicated to the institution’s strict standards. When the opportunity for a promotion arises, Portia is determined to get the gig. However, when she attempts to impress her superior by expanding her annual recruiting trip by visiting an alternative high school, she’s forced to recognize that there may be bright young minds outside of Princeton’s cookie cutter idea of the ideal prospective student.
In honor of “Admission’s” Friday, March 22nd debut, Weitz took the time to sit down and talk all things college admissions. He dished on his own experience applying to college and the trajectory he’s got in mind for his kids. Weitz also delved into the challenge of meeting audience expectations while also exceeding them, working with his ideal cast, and more. Check it all out for yourself in the interview below.
