Declassified College Podcast | College Advice That Isn't Boring

Did you know that over 50% of students regret going to their university and over 25% transfer schools at least once? Yea, a lot of that is because students don't have much to go off of when choosing their college out of high school. It's a lot of pamphlets and biased marketing and not a lot of real information out there.

This episode is all about how you can ask a few questions to find the right college campus and some specific aspects to look for. We partnered up with StudentSide to bring this episode to you all!

Books we shared:

Money: Master The Game by Tony Robbins

The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing by Taylor Larimore, Mel Lindauer, Michael Leboeuf

The democratization of investing = lowering the barrier of entry to investing.

Before companies like Public.com were a thing, you would need about $10,000 to start investing and you would pay $7 to make a trade. With 69% of the US adult population having less than $1,000 in their savings account, for college students investing was pretty much impossible.

Prepare yourself for to study... a lot of studying to say the least.

The GRE, GMAT, LSAT, and MCAT are huge factors in the admissions process and if you want to get into a good school, you better get a high score.

High scores = getting into a top school = typically a higher salary than if you graduate from an "average" school.

That's just the facts.

I brought Mike Bergin and Amy Seely (the co-hosts of the Tests and the Rest podcast) on to share their insights into how to best prepare for these exams!

Just like how undergrad has SATs and ACTs, for graduate school you have MCATs, LSATs, GMATs, and GREs.

You will hear from Mike Bergin, host of the Tests and the Rests podcast, Founder of Chariot Learning, about what each of these exams consists of.
