Episode Highlights:

13:37 - Now what I tell people is that you wanna push yourself as much as you can, but still get a's and b's. So, like, if you're going to sign up for all AP classes and you're going to get a c in all of them because you can't do that level of rigor, then that wasn't a good choice for you.

23:11 - The thing that comes to mind in terms of the barrier is one thing I've even seen myself is kind of the lack of campus tours that are available and kind of off times. So a lot of families want to go over breaks, you know, holidays, weekends, and that's often when they're not offered.

26:30 - One thing that I'm always amazed in general is so many students and families feel like their students should be able to go to college for free. So we hear this all the time. Right? Like, somebody's gonna get a free ride because of x, y, and z, or an athlete's gonna get a free ride, or somebody who's really top-notch academics going to get a free ride. In reality, there are really very few free rides to college.

37:48 - So institutions have to really be able to answer that question, you know, that what they're doing and the preparation they have for students to move on after their college experience and get a good job is important. So I just think, you know, making sure there's enough investment in those resources, career resources and, and what they're advertising at what for what students do at their institution is going to prepare them for that. So I think just, you know, making sure they can answer that question about the cost being worth it.
