So just listened to my first episode, a recent one (jan 2021) & already it's full of misinformation. Early admissions aren't ALL binding and early applications aren't "easier to get in" by ANY means at all, esp in 20-21.
Please.
Description
Each Thursday, the "Your College-Bound Kid" podcast will discuss a hot college admissions article; answer a question from a listener; interview a "thought leader" in the world of college admissions and do a Spotlight on a college. Every Monday, we will have a second episode with announcements and an interview with a "thought leader" in the world of college admissions or college life. YCBK combines in-depth knowledge and insights about college admissions with a lighthearted, easy-to-listen-to style. The six co-hosts have over 150 years' experience in college admissions, college counseling and professional counseling.
