What an amazing concept. John interviews college admissions reps from hundreds of colleges while providing such great information. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone interested in the college process.

This podcast is so helpful and appreciated. I am a mom of twins who are juniors and we are making our college lists. The interviews with admissions staff are great for going beyond the superficial info listed in college guides. Also, I just sent an email with a suggestion. I was surprised to get an almost instantaneous reply from the host. Highly recommend this podcast!

The guy keeps flirting with female admissions counselors and then keeps snickering, laughing and keeps repeating the stuff that his guests say..his background soundtrack (hehehe) is always distracting from the content. Questions are same across the board which is helpful initially before becoming monotonous

This podcast is beyond helpful as it provides clarity on the College admissions process. I need to highlight there is a book out from Dr. Durante, STRAIGHT FROM THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE, that is even more insightful. I highly recommend this book.

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!!

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

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!

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.

Insightful interview questions and answers!

I was looking for more info about colleges and thought this podcast would be helpful. Unfortunately it was a waste of time. The host seems like a nice guy but doesn’t demonstrate any knowledge himself… he basically asks the same softball questions of every guest and doesn’t get into the real differences between different colleges and their admissions policies. No back and forth or real conversation with the guests. He doesn’t seem to do any advance research about the schools and compliments the guests ingratiatingly about their responses. The Your College Bound Kid podcast is far better, and its hosts are actually knowledgeable about admissions and different colleges.

Love the breadth of school interviews. Sam, Financial Samurai (William & Mary Alum)

Good topics in college admissions are discussed. Nice energy but the hosts are not as sophisticated as others in the field who are better able to explain nuances in admissions (for example, there is no advantage to applying early to MIT or Harvard but the hosts don't seems to be aware of this). Still, it's a worthwhile show.

As a parent, I’m finding this podcast to be my favorite in helping my family to research colleges.

Thank you for doing this!

I love that this podcasts interviews admissions counselors and provides great information

The podcasts provide insight from a broad range of undergraduate schools. Each episode gives great advise about the college application process. Thank you!

Great podcast with important information for parents and students. The college admission process is very confusing and these podcasts provide helpful insights and tips.
