I’ve greatly enjoyed this podcast. I have high-performing junior in high school, so it’s helpful to hear admission counselors from so many wonderful universities. It’s far different from college admissions 30 years ago! I especially enjoy the student interviews.

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)
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.
What an amazing concept. John interviews college admissions reps from hundreds of colleges while providing such great information. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone interested in the college process.
