In this episode of Demystifying College Admissions, I have a very special guest, Ursula. Ursula is Michelle's mom and Michelle is my former student who recently graduated from high school and is now having a blast at NYU! I'm so grateful that I was able to mentor Michelle and help her navigate this journey with ease and success.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why Ursula decided to work with me even though she had already hired a college counselor for Michelle
• What students truly need
• How Michelle benefited from working with me
• What kind of role Ursula played in the college admissions journey to maximize Michelle's motivation, passion, and success
• What the college admissions journey is really all about

NOTABLE QUOTES:

• "Even though there are very good professionals out in the field, not all of them are a good fit for our kids."
• "You knew exactly how to motivate her."
• "Her professional, academic, and personal development started with you."
• "She has and keeps developing/discovering what her passions are."
• "What matters is that they are happy."
• "The most important thing is that they can find their passions."
• "Parents: we need to be very aware and give all of the resources to our kids - to provide them the elements that they need in order to rediscover or discover what is inside of them, not outside!"
• "Enjoy the ride!"
