Listen "Start Your Engines: Accelerating from Discovery to Application"
Episode Synopsis
With October on the near horizon, Admissions Beat host Lee Coffin encourages seniors to get in gear and begin thinking about the nuts and bolts of their applications. His guests, Jennifer Simons, Director of Bright Horizons College Coach, and Darryl Tiggle, Director of College Counseling at the Friends School of Baltimore, offer guidance on tackling “the deliverables” of the admissions process—essay drafts, teacher recommendations, testing—with a strategy. Coffin and his guests also discuss the many “on ramps and off ramps” of the search as it progresses, from refining the list of schools to deciphering college rankings to prioritizing college visits to assessing a plan for an early application. As seniors rev their engines and hit the road on the college application process, they can count on the Admissions Beat crew to be there to offer roadside assistance for the length of that journey.
