In this episode of unpopular PARENT, we dive into the whirlwind of senior year as college applications open up and the reality of leaving home begins to set in. Scout reflects on how her emotions have shifted since summer—what she was worried about then versus what’s on her mind today. 

We reflect on how campus visits transformed Scout’s college preferences, including how some schools she once considered a great fit landed on her "firm no" list. We also cover everything from the SAT and ACT to the broader experience of tackling standardized testing and the college admissions process. Plus, Scout shares valuable advice on how to approach and complete those applications with confidence. Whether you're a senior deep in the application process or a parent helping your teen navigate this journey, this episode offers practical insights and real talk about managing this pivotal time.
