February 02, 2024 #194 - Educator, Turned Mom, Turned Chef & Entrepreneur
As an educator for 30 years, I have met some of the most amazing and creative people along my journey. They are teachers, college administrators, high level assistants - these people are talented.
The problem is most educators treat their talent as a hobby, when, in my mind, they could be supplementing their income with a side hustle.
Today our fabulous guest, Anais Goldberg, is just the gal with immense talent who figured how to go from educator, to mom, to entrepreneur. I worked with her, our husbands (my-ex) got along, I tasted her recipes, and trust me, they are flavorful AND healthy! My dream is to cook with Anais in her kitchen!!
If you are in a job that you like, or even love, but you know you’ve got more in you, but just don’t know how to get started, this episode is for YOU!

February 01, 2024 #193 - The ONE School Document You Need BEFORE Applying To College
OK I’M DONE HOLDING BACK ALL THE THINGS I SAVE FOR MY PRIVATE CLIENTS. In January alone 95% of the families we met with in free or private consultations had NEVER heard of or seen the School Profile for their child’s high school.
If you didn’t catch that, I said, SCHOOL PROFILE. It’s a PDF document that literally shares the academic profile of your high school with colleges. This document is how colleges view your child’s high school and the context in which to evaluate their application.
Does this sound like a document YOU want to see BEFORE senior year? If you are nodding your head yes, you need today’s episode!
Today I am going to break down the SCHOOL PROFILE:
What is it?
3 real examples of School Profiles (Public, Catholic, Private)
Walk you through the components.
Tell you how this is used in college admissions.
AND, Where to find your own school profile.
If you’ve never heard of the School Profile, you are in good company. When I presented this info to the Stanford B-School Alumni, they didn’t know either. SO - I decided, if they need this information, I’m pretty sure YOU do too!!

January 26, 2024 #191 Why I left Vassar College. My Sophie’s Choice
My time as an admission officer at Vassar College are some of the happiest days of my career. The problem was, I hated denying more students than we could admit. It was like Sophie’s choice with each applicant.
I realized I could be and wanted to be of service to more families and help build the dreams of more students. So, I set out to become a college counselor at an elite private school in Los Angeles.
It came down to two schools where I was a finalist. The interview process at each private girls school could not have been more different. As my first introduction to the private school world, the experience was eye-opening for this public school girl.
Here is my story of discovering who I am and what I value.

January 25, 2024 #190 - Finding Balance Without A Bike
Every senior has a story to tell. The problem is, they just don’t know how to get started. More than that, students do not understand that the college essay is NOT written in the style of an English or research paper.
After 20+ years in the business of college admissions, we’ve developed a teen proofed and battle tested formula that helps every student turn their story into interesting, engaging and compelling essays.
Truth Talk Thursdays is where me and my guest take a deep dive in 1-2 essays unpack why it works and what makes it stand out. Tune in to today’s Destination YOUniversity podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Or, if you prefer to watch, find us on YouTube @dr.cynthiacolon71.
The essays described today are found in the Free Sample Packet or 40+ Winning Essay Packet are all from Essay Campers! I highly recommend snagging your copy today!

January 19, 2024 #188 How I Doubled My Teacher Salary In One Summer
Nearly every senior was applying to 3-8 top competitive colleges and Judy and I were tasked with increasing acceptance letters to top 100 colleges. The problem was each college required 2-5 essays, so the girls’ overwhelm became our overwhelm. I spent my days and nights reading and editing essays.
Judy and I realized that the school’s college success depended on the amount of guidance they received and the focused time the girls dedicated to each application.
Our offices were old dorm rooms, connected by a bathroom turned storage space. Judy and I often joked that some of our best ideas came from impromptu meetings in the “loo.”
This is the story of how essay camp was born and how we made 60 thousand dollars by working three weeks in the summer.

November 15, 2023 #47: Raising A #Giving Kid: Intention and Impact
Oh my word! This episode is definitely for parents who want validation that YOU ARE on the right track. Just when it feels like you are not sure if what you are doing to teach your child how to simply be a good, kind, and an empathetic child, boom, here is your answer. Molly shares a tale from her own parenting book on just how much magic can happen when you simply plant the seeds for your child.
When it comes to college admissions, many believe that community service is the path to getting admitted. It is not the service that matters, it is how your teen decides how to leave an impact. For some it is through giving of their TIME, for others, the best way to leave an impact is by giving of their TALENT, and yet for others, giving TREASURE is the best way for them to contribute. The point is this: find an organization or a cause that gets your teen fired up, and then, like Molly says, “Let nature take its course.”
Today, learn how to raise a #givingkid with intention and impact!
