During the discussion (which we'll keep to under 30 minutes!) - we'll move beyond the institutional talking points, and dig deeper about the institution. What is it like to work with the admissions team? How did parents feel about the process? After students are on campus, what do they report back to their counselor?
By the end of the episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of an outstanding college option, and be more confident referring students.
