YCBK14: The Importance of Having Financial Match Schools on Your Kid’s College List
In this week’s episode…
In the News (2:15): We’ll review an article found in the US News & World Report that talks about the growing trend among colleges and universities offering 2nd-semester admissions to applicants.
In this week’s book discussion (11:00): of Chapter 14 of 171 Answers: to the Most-Asked College Admissions Questions we answer the question, “Why is it important to have Financial Match Schools at Various Levels of Selectivity on your college list”.
This week’s question (18:11) is from Nicky in Alexandria, Virginia.
We have a special interview with Howard Rittenhouse, (31:41) an Academy Admissions Partner for the Coast Guard Academy (link to @uscgacademy). Howard shares how attending the Academy can allow your kid to go to college for free, get paid to go, and graduate with a guaranteed job.
