The College Search & Making College Visits - What Parents Can Do To Help Their Kids Find The Right Fit With College Advisor Marni Levine
College advisor Marni Levine is here to help us find the right financial, academic, cultural, and social fit for our kids when it comes to the college decision. We talk through the college search process and what our expectations should be during this important time.
Topics include:
1. How finding the right college fit is not a one size fits all process.
2. When should a family start thinking about the college search - when do you start?
3. Do colleges want a "well-rounded" student that does everything or one that specializes in one or two things?
4. Knowledge that if your kid is not comfortable where they are, they can’t be happy. And if they can’t be happy, they can’t be successful.
5. What do schools offer virtually to help narrow your list down?
6. How important is it to talk to an actual student of the school? What can they tell you that you can't find on the school website?
7. There are so many colleges, how do you start narrowing down?
8. How many colleges should you plan to apply to?
9. Is an Ivy League School better than my state flagship school?
10. How has COVID affected the application and acceptance rates?
11. My college choice is test optional, should I even bother with the ACT or SAT?
12. The importance of the financial talk when it comes to student loans.
13. What is the number one thing parents need to do as their child begins to consider college?
14. What is the parent's role in the college search?
Make sure to follow Marni on social as she is starting a membership group as she is going to have good college search information and speakers. It will be a great place to get needed information and ask questions if you are not able to work 1:1 with an advisor.
