  Aug 30, 202613 min

  In this week's podcast, I issue a stern warning for teenagers who do not prepare ahead of time for their return to high school. If their summer was dominated by endless scrolling, swiping, and video-watching, their attention span has likely withered away to nothing. Learn how to avoid the crash-out that will occur if they try to show up to school with no transition plan.

  Ep. 331 | 5 Biggest Nothing-Burger Activities

  Aug 23, 202614 min

  In this week's podcast, I review the 5 biggest nothing-burger extracurricular activities that you should not include in your college application - unless you have no choice. You might be surprised by the list. Even though some of the activities/organizations sound legitimate, more often than not, they are a waste of time, energy, and money. Don't get caught chasing the wrong car. .

  Ep. 330 | How To Build A Target List

  Aug 15, 202611 min

  In this week's podcast, I review one of the most challenging (but important) parts of the college admissions process. Building a target list of colleges This entails narrowing down a list of 4,000+ colleges to a manageable list of 10-14 colleges that meet all of your child's preferences, such as: big school, small school, medium school location urban, suburban, rural majors selectivity residential life et cetera The list of 10-14 target colleges also needs to reflect an appropriate mix of reach, match, and likely schools. In today's episode, I zero-in on one strategy that may help unlock colleges that might be hiding from consideration.
