    Ep. 253 | Top 10 Reasons Your Child Probably Got Rejected From College X

    In this episode, I review the Top 10 reasons why your child probably didn't get into their early action or early decision school - especially if it was highly-selective. If you have a child who was rejected from their dream school, this might give you some clues as to why it happened. If you have younger children (8th - 11th grade), this will provide an early-warning system as to what lies ahead. Some of the Top 10 reasons include: unaware of the strength of applicant pool started too late didn't submit SAT or ACT scores never connected the dots wrote weak essays and more Use this episode as a cautionary tale as well as a lesson for how to respond to different outcomes.

    Ep. 252 | Should My Child Attend This Summer Leadership Conference?

    In this episode, I address the following common question: Dear Phil, My son/daughter was invited to a National Student Leadership Conference this summer. The session he/she wants to attend is being held on [enter name of prestigious sounding college's] campus. It looks really cool. Do you think it would be worth it for him/her to go, and how much do you think it will help him/her in the college admissions process?

    Ep. 251 | Why "Normal" May Trump "Super-selective" When It Comes To Colleges

    In this episode, I make the case that prestige, ranking, and name recognition may not be the best predictors of a successful college experience. Sometimes, attending a "normal college" might be the best call.  If you are a student (or parent) who is obsessing about the chances of being admitted to the highest-ranking college possible, this episode may give you permission to exhale.

    Ep. 248 | Using The Chaos To Your Advantage

    In this episode, I argue that the craziness of the college admissions process (and college experience itself), has given us permission to question our assumptions, consider alternative options, and make better decisions.
