  • Great resource!

    This podcast is so helpful and appreciated. I am a mom of twins who are juniors and we are making our college lists. The interviews with admissions staff are great for going beyond the superficial info listed in college guides. Also, I just sent an email with a suggestion. I was surprised to get an almost instantaneous reply from the host. Highly recommend this podcast!

  • Worst host ever

    The guy keeps flirting with female admissions counselors and then keeps snickering, laughing and keeps repeating the stuff that his guests say..his background soundtrack (hehehe) is always distracting from the content. Questions are same across the board which is helpful initially before becoming monotonous

  • Invaluable!

    This podcast is beyond helpful as it provides clarity on the College admissions process. I need to highlight there is a book out from Dr. Durante, STRAIGHT FROM THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE, that is even more insightful. I highly recommend this book.

  • Fantastic Resource

    John’s interviews are a fantastic resource for teens, their parents, and those who support high school students. Not only do listeners learn about college admissions but they can get a glimpse of a specific college before investing time and money on official visits and applications. Thank you, John, and please keep the episodes coming!!
