Imagine if someone could guide you through the entire college preparation process - from early preparation to the financial aid and application process. How would it feel to embark on this journey more prepared and less stressed? In today’s episode, I invite college planning process guru, Debbie Goldstein, to share exactly how she does this for her many clients (including my daughter!) and how you can turn her insights into actions so you can take the guesswork and frustration out of the admissions process!
