    Actually Entertaining
    Who knew college admissions could be so entertaining! Recommend this for students, parents and counselors...or anyone connected to a university. I don’t even have kids but I’m on a university board so it’s important to be informed from the perspective of the people who assist our future students.

    Fascinating, calming, and very informative
    Highly recommend this podcast to high school students and their parents. Listening to Arun and his guests gave me practical information to share with my HS junior and brought my anxiety level down about college applications. Stop reading College Confidential and listen to this exceptional podcast instead. My favorite episode was the one about testing…Paul is a delight…but all the episodes are terrific. Can’t wait for Season 2!
