Episode 30: Nailing the Application Process: HS and Beyond
Today Kevin and I meet with the inspiring Carolyn Kost. I had the opportunity to be hired by Carolyn in 2012and she has been a constant source of insight with regards to curriculum and the college process ever since. For well over twenty years, Carolyn has helped families find the right academic, social and financial fit for their college bound students. Carolyn is an admissions reader for a prominent university and frequent presenter at national conferences. She was mentioned in The New York Times and reads college news all day every day. She has taught in five universities and attended ten, so her experiences offer not only perspectives for parents but also as a student. Her clients have gone on to all the Ivy and Ivy Plus universities like CalTech, Stanford, U Chicago, and MIT, all the Florida publics --which she believes are great viable options—as well as universities in Australia, the UK, Hong Kong, Canada, and all over Europe, which are far less expensive and often teach in English.
In addition to publishing well as over 100 articles for a variety of publications, she has co-authored On To College, a guide to college admissions, and What Are You Waiting For? A Workbook for Living Your Purpose, Path, and Passion. Her book Engage! Setting the Course for Independent Secondary Schools in the 21st Century, has been used as a textbook at Johns Hopkins Graduate School of education. Additionalyl, Carolyn is bilingual and has lived in Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Trinidad She now lives in North Palm Beach with her husband, Frank.
