Show Description
Did you know that 80% of high school students nationally chose their college based on where their friends are going? Don’t let that be your student.
The Cut Throat College Planning podcast is your all-in-one, start-to-finish guide to get your student on the right path for life after high school. We want to welcome parents, students, teachers, and any high school staff interested in helping students plan for their next step into adulthood.
Choosing a college or not to go to college, can be one of the largest financial decisions a high school senior can make. We don’t want them to do it alone. The Cut Throat College Planning podcast challenges the traditional college application process. We bring insights, in great detail about how to maximize the campus tour experience, strengthen college applications, purposefully explore career pathway options, and start the FASFA process.
