Manage episode 421490239 series 2301122
I am so happy to continue our 3-Part Insider Guide to the College Admission Process with my guest, Alyse Levine, one of the country's most prominent college counseling experts. Today we're focusing on a grade-by-grade guide to supporting our kids on the path toward college applications.
Some of the topics we cover:
- Why middle school should be about focusing on healthy work habits
- How and when to make the most of clubs and after-school experiences
- Plotting out high school courses like a decision tree
- Why Alyse calls 10th grade "a pivotal year"
- What “demonstrated interest” is, and why it matters
- Different ways to visit colleges and when to start
- How and when to start creating your college list
- How to frame the (dreaded) personal essay to take off pressure
- Why there are no limits to essay topics (contrary to popular belief)
- How to decide whether to apply Early Decision
- Putting mental health first, always.
Spoiler: Even if you start late, it may not be late. Just breathe!
