Expert Advice for College Bound Students

May 05, 2008 By: Aurelia Category: Parenting My Teen Podcast

Welcome to Episode # 33!

If you have a student who is in the midst of submitting college applications or even if your student is just starting high school, parents should NOT miss this very informative show about what attributes colleges are looking for in their applicants!

My guest this week is Suzanne Luse, a certified educational consultant from College Expert, and she helps us understand what role parents should play in the college application process, how to encourage your children to make decisions and take initiative when speaking to college representatives, and why your high school student should take four years of math and English classes.

Sue also has a Top 10 List of what colleges deem “most important” on a student’s application. Some of these things might surprise you!

Although Sue’s list is quite comprehensive and colleges are only admitting a fraction of their applicants, try not to put added pressure on your student. It is completely normal to apply to 7-10 colleges rather than 2-3 when we were their age.

If you have any additional questions for Sue or about college in general, please leave a comment below and I will find an answer for you!
