In our latest episode, we're joined by a real heavyweight in the field of college admissions - Thomas Caleel, a former directer of MBA admissions at the Wharton School and host of the Admittedly Podcast. Thomas offers a unique perspective on what schools are actually seeking from applicants: individuality, self-awareness, and passion. Ever wondered if a college degree is really necessary? We have, too. That's why we took a deep look into the world of career paths and education options. You might be surprised to learn that while a degree might not be crucial for some careers, for many others, it's a golden ticket to networking and career development opportunities. Trust us, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. But we didn't stop there. Homeschooling parents, we've got your back, too! Thomas generously shared his insights into how homeschooled students can navigate the college admissions process effectively. He also opened up about his own transition from entrepreneurship to admissions, reminding us of the importance of identifying and pursuing our passions. So, let's get ready to revolutionize the college admissions process together – because no matter the path, every child deserves to reach their full potential.Welcome to Speak Out Stand Out — the show where we build confidence in our future, one voice at a time.
