In this paradigm-shifting interview with Maria Furtado, the Executive Director of Colleges That Change Lives (aka CTCL), we discuss, among other things:

  • What is a liberal arts education and why is it important?
  • Three questions every student should ask when it comes to picking a college
  • Three ways to reduce anxiety during the college application process: the Car Idea, how to avoid “college creep,” and how the Ice Cream Prize can make a tour better

  • How to make the most of a college fair experience
  • Perhaps the single most important thing for parents to consider when it comes to the college application process
