“It’s not where you are, it’s what you do when you get there.”
In this conversation, we are so lucky to be joined by college admissions consultant Haley Friedman! As a UC Berkeley graduate, she provides us with first-hand insights and tips on the college application process and managing stress. She emphasizes the importance of breaking down the application process into manageable chunks and staying connected to yourself throughout the process. Haley also discusses the changing landscape of standardized testing, and what to know about submitting SAT or ACT scores. We also chat about how to deal with the tension that can arise between parents and students during this time. She suggests setting defined times for college application discussions and seeking the help of a neutral third party if needed.
