Thank you to Connie Whitman of Whitman and Associates for hosting me on her Podcast, Enlightenment of Change. I absolutely loved talking to her about how to navigate the college admissions process with joy – and optimal results! Please listen to our conversation here.

A few highlights:

  • We talk about how to avoid common mistakes, including many that you don’t know you’re making.
  • We also cover the importance of creating the right school list.
  • We discuss how much the college landscape has changed since many parents were applying.
  • I talk a bit about my guiding my own three children through the college admissions process. (Two of my kids went to Ivies, and one chose a small liberal arts college that’s a perfect fit.)
  • There is a LOT of misinformation out there about the college admissions process – it’s critical to listen to the right voices.
  • I highlight the importance of finding colleges that are a good fit.
  • Overall, supporting your child as they apply to college can be a great experience. Really!
