Creating your college list: The most common mistakes families make, and how to avoid them
One of the most important steps in the college selection process is creating a college list. A narrowed down selection of which schools are going to be the best fit for your teen. But where do you even begin? What are the criteria for schools to make the cut – and what actually makes a college a “good” school? Jeanmarie Keller is an educational consultant who has worked with students for over 15 years to find the RIGHT schools for them, and has a lot of insights to share on how to determine what’s right for your teen. Listen in on this interview with Jeanmarie to learn…
