Reflections of 2025 Admissions Cycle
In this episode, we look back at the 2025-2026 college admissions cycle and unpack the trends, surprises, and lessons learned. We discuss what worked, what caught families off guard, and how the landscape continues to evolve, from acceptance rates and test-optional policies to majors and demonstrated interest. Learn what this year's results tell us about where admissions is headed and how future applicants can better prepare. We share real stories from families navigating the process, common mistakes to avoid, and silver linings that emerged even in disappointing outcomes. Whether your student is just starting their college journey or you're processing this year's results, this episode offers perspective, insight, and hope for the road ahead. S2, E3
