On this episode:
- How many schools students should apply to and when is best to start the process
- An amazing list of resources for helping students get to know themselves better
- Answers: What is the highest-impact hour that someone should spend developing their college list? (answer may surprise you)
- What do parents and students miss out on if they only used US News and World Report?
- What Steven listens for specifically when helping a student develop a list
- What terms Steven uses instead of “reach,” “match” and “back-up” for schools on a list
- We play a game where Steven helps me develop a college list on the fly based on a few preferences (something, he points out, he would never do without more information, by the way)… but he plays along and it’s neat to hear the master at work.
