Episode 08 - Rapid-Fire Myth Destruction

Do colleges reserve spots for valedictorians? Is it harder to get a job with a humanities degree? Will a letter of recommendation from Oprah get you into Stanford? In the Season 1 finale, we take a hammer to some of the most stubborn (and ridiculous) myths, lies and misconceptions about college admissions, as told to us by the Collegewise counselors doing this work every day.

Episode 07 - You don't need a title to be a leader.

Collegewise founder Kevin McMullin is back to discuss the fundamentals of leadership as it relates to college applications. Find out why being elected class president won’t impress admissions officers, why some of the most compelling stories of high school leadership come from students who aren’t formally in charge of anything, why some of the best opportunities to lead lie within your own passions and community, and how a kid named David Husslebee made a name for himself with a set identical Hawaiian shirts.

Episode 06 - The sticker price is not the price.

This week we take a deep dive into college costs. We explain why the sticker price (the one colleges put on the website) is usually not what you pay. We discuss how to decide if a college is a good financial fit, what makes any particular college a “good value," and the invisible forces at work on how we think about which colleges are “worth it.” Our guest is Casey Near, Executive Director of Counseling at Collegewise. Casey is a former admissions counselor at Mills College, avid book reader, part-timer Mainer, and full-time smarty pants.
