I am so excited about my guest today - Alyse Levine! We have one of the foremost college counseling experts in the country here today sharing her wisdom and tips to help adolescents fulfill their college goals & dreams.

Alyse shares why she’s so passionate about college admissions & working with young people, and I ask what was surprising for her when going through the college admissions process with her own kiddo recently. We dig into all-things admissions related: testing, grades, college essays, rescinded offers, and virtual opportunities & internships. I ask Alyse what teens should be doing during the summer and how to discern good opportunities & programs, and we wrap up this week talking about setting expectations for our adolescents and how motivating it is when people are learning something they’re excited about.

Key Takeaways from the show

  • Why work with a college admissions specialist or counselor?
  • FAFSA, Merit Money, & scholarships
  • How has grading changed since we were in school?
  • Colleges rescinding offers
  • College is a safe place to make some mistakes & grow resiliency
  • What should teens be doing during summer breaks?
  • Virtual internships & experiences
  • What to look for in good summer programs & offerings
  • Authenticity during the college admissions process
  • The motivation that comes when we are learning things we’re excited about
  • “There is a home and a college for everyone”
