#101: The Power and Importance of Personal Storytelling When Applying to College

In this episode, we talk about storytelling. Not necessarily in an academic sense but in a life-sense. If you have a child who plans to attend college, this discussion is  very important and informative. From a college’s perspective, admissions staff are especially interested in seeing a student’s potential to succeed in post-secondary school as well as their future career. They also want to ensure that your child is a person who will contribute to the education and careers of their classmates, so your child’s lived experience will be critical in how they tell their story. So what exactly will your child need to know before writing that first essay? Learn more as I interview college admissions expert, Kate Stone, as she walk us through the process.
