College Crunch: Navigating the New Frontier with College Admissions Advisor Julie Kelsheimer

What are the current trends as well as the academic steps needed to help students reach their college goals? In this episode, we discuss the changing landscape for college admissions with College Admissions Advisor, Julie Keisheimer. Julie works with Great Minds Advising, which is the remotely-based college advising wing of the tutoring company Westchester Prep located just outside of New York City.
Most college students report improved job prospects and financial security as a primary reason for college attendance, but the benefits of a college education extend beyond financial gains. In the study, Education Pays 2019: The Benefits of Higher Education For Individuals and Society, researchers reported these main personal and societal findings:
1. Individuals with higher levels of education earn more, pay more taxes, and are more likely than others to be employed.
2. Having a college degree is associated with a healthier lifestyle, potentially reducing health care costs. Adults with higher levels of education are more active citizens than others and are more involved in their children’s activities.
As a nation, more young adults aged 18- to 24 are investing in college. The percentage of those young adults who enrolled increased from 25% in 1978 to 41% in 2018. So, how can we help more students make the leap from high school to college? The ever-changing application process can make the road to college acceptance overwhelming and confusing.
