CHANGING THE COLLEGE CONVERSATION

There is no ONE path to success when it comes to the choices our teens make post-high school. The college admission process is out of control and so are the costs to attend college. It’s time to start changing the college conversation. There needs to be less focus on rankings and we all need to start questioning what we are doing to the mental health of our teens with the demands being placed on them to get into their dream colleges. Instead, parents talk to their teens about how to fulfill their dreams – so they can not just survive but thrive in this challenging and ever-changing world.
