Fantastic Resource

John’s interviews are a fantastic resource for teens, their parents, and those who support high school students. Not only do listeners learn about college admissions but they can get a glimpse of a specific college before investing time and money on official visits and applications. Thank you, John, and please keep the episodes coming!!

Very helpful! Thank you

Thank you John for doing a great service. May I suggest that you put some emphasis on the works of the schools’ career centers?

Adds dimension to what’s out there…

As a parent in the process, I have come to really appreciate this podcast as a way for featured schools to show a bit of personality and really highlight what’s unique to them beyond the CDS and marketing material. The admissions officers really do give good tips you won’t find elsewhere, and I’d consider it required listening for students and support crew as they gear up to apply. John has been incredibly diligent with this project, and most schools on our daughter’s list now have an episode! Kinda great! Thanks, man!

Very helpful for parents and students!

Great podcast! It is very helpful for parents and high school students on their college admission journey. I would love to see a podcast on Texas A&M, the largest university in the country. Would love to see one on Trinity University too.

Amazing insight and tips

Great for specific schools but the others have unexpected nuggets of wisdom. So far the Cornell episode was the best, amazing, frank answers to probing questions. Thank you.

Invaluable resource

I am a high school counselor and find this podcast an excellent resource to share with my students - and for me to learn too! Thanks, Dr. Durante! Btw...I'm a University of Wisconsin-Madison alum - hoping to hear some Badgers on the podcast soon! :-)
