#049 – Today, Jankel and I talk about the different types of colleges available to high school graduates. The truth is that all high school kids, with different levels of academic preparation, can obtain a college education immediately after high school, if they choose to do so. There are a variety of types of colleges in the United States that exist to serve students from different levels of academic achievement and preparation. That also includes those students who had what may be considered an abysmal high school preparation. On this episode, we explore the different types of colleges, starting with those that are highly-selective (private and state), and transition to state schools that have a higher admission rate, private schools that are not highly selective, and community colleges. We also present the minimum requirements for admission into each type of institution. During our talk, Janekl and I debunk myths about two very inclusive and helpful types of institutions, state and community colleges. At the beginning of our conversation, we uncover the meaning of highly-selective, selective, and competitive colleges and universities. We also talk about the marked effect Mr. Loren Pope had in the world of college admissions in America. His writings, including Colleges That Change Lives, have led to changes in the way students, parents, and counselors approached the college admissions process.
