Episode 5: Decoding the College Admissions Process with Brook Wolcott
03/03/20 • 41 min
It's not actually a graduation requirement to accumulate massive post college debt! In this episode, Brook Wolcott, college admissions counselor, decodes a bit of the college admissions process puzzle in ways that remind us that debt can have a significant impact on life after college...so why not think strategically about the admissions process from the start? Brook sets us up to think in ways that can significantly reduce the weight that debt can play post college for so many of us. If we consider (and prioritize) cost, (social) fit, (academic) prestige, we can think through the college admissions process in fluent and comprehensive ways...that make sense for you and your family.
