NPR Advice
NPR may seem like it’s mostly for your parents. And we’ll admit, talk radio can be really dull sometimes. But NPR does it better than anyone else and they’ve got a seven part series on college admissions that isn’t on the radio. It’s in print form, so feel free to read it in your own, more interesting voices.
There’s a lot to digest, but some good perspectives, too, including this quote from a high school senior:
“The name of the school you go to is not going to decide how happy you are for the rest of your life.”
