  • Very Helpful!

    John is a wonderful host who asks thoughtful and leading questions. Many of his guests work in admissions for highly competitive colleges/universities. These interviews provide incredibly helpful insight into the culture of the school, what types of students “thrive” in the institution, and the overall admissions process. Thank you! (parent)

  • Nothing that most don’t already know

    The content is very repetitive and rarely is there any info that most don’t already know. The host’s constant giggling is very annoying, making it hard to listen to.

  • 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

334. Deep Springs College - Current Students Tosca & Walker
Q: What advice would you give to students applying to Deep Springs?
Students should be true to themselves and showcase their genuine interests rather than trying to guess what the admissions committee wants to hear. It's important to understand why they want to come to Deep Springs, as it will be challenging.

Q: Can you give an overview of what makes Deep Springs College so distinctive in terms of its size, location and your mission?
