Before you do ANYTHING - hire a college counselor, start looking at schools, certainly start applying do yourself a favor and start tuning in to this podcast. We go to a very well resourced private school and even at those schools the college counselors do very little to help kids and parents through the process. Why? Because it’s BRUTAL and there are no easy answers. This team’s honest dialogue (be prepared for some scary truths) and helpful guests provide the insights you need to navigate this process with a sense of realistic expectations. Thanks to them we learned about ‘spikes’ and how college look at students as part of an overall class, the value (and non value) of extracurricular activities and in particular for us, how to think about skills like music. Our kid was fortunate enough to get into the ‘impossible to get into RD schools’ (begins with a ‘W’) and also into a highly selective Ivy but we went in with open eyes and were not surprised along the way. We saved a ton of money (we did not use a college counselor but we did help our kid stay on track), confusion and angst. I’m listening to the 2024 recap and their assessment and all I do is nod my head because of the insights I had along the way through this podcast. Thank you, Mark, Linda and the entire team!

I normally don’t listen to podcasts where the hosts are chatty and even if the content is something I’m looking for, I will pass. But this one is quite different! First, the content is priceless. You simply can’t get this kind of information without hiring a college coach. Mark and Lisa are...Read full review »
