Finding World-Class Test Prep at a Fraction of the Cost - Episode 782

I recently spoke with Dave Walker of Walker Prep (formerly Quiz Hacker).
In our conversation, Dave shared:
Why high-cost “name brand” test prep may not provide the return on investment that parents and students should expect.
Why one-on-one boutique test prep may provide better results, but still may not be necessary for the entire test prep process.
Why budget test prep often doesn’t produce the results that students need.
Why a “hybrid approach” may be the best approach to test prep for many families.
Some timelines for the Class of 2025 and 2026 regarding test prep.
You can connect with Dave by visiting WalkerTestPrep.com or by emailing Dave at Dave@WalkerTestPrep.com.

"Deep-Fit" College - Episode 775

I recently spoke with Jennifer Stephan of Lantern College Counseling. Jennifer has spent her entire career in higher education helping young adults achieve their academic and personal goals.
Jennifer holds a unique vantage point on the college application process, having held a variety of roles across top colleges and universities, including professor, academic dean, and on a board of admissions, in addition to serving as a private college counselor, alumni interviewer for Johns Hopkins University, and parent of three. Her holistic understanding of how a student can thrive at college helps her guide students down the path of fulfillment, success, and joy.
In our conversation, Jennifer shared:
The concept of “Deep-Fit” college, and why chasing rankings is not the right approach to choosing a college
What “thriving” in college really means, including 6 college experiences that relate to positive long-term success
Tips for identifying a “Deep-Fit” college for your student, and 3 reasons “Deep-Fit” is critical to future success
