Ep. 109 | If Not The Ivies, Then Where?

Show Notes: In this episode, I make suggestions on how to make a college decision assuming you will not get into one of the Top 10 most-selective schools. Given that these schools have single-digit acceptance rates, this would cover just about everyone.  How should you shift your mindset if the Ivy League is off the table?       0:01:20 Top 10 most selective colleges   0:03:10 Why some schools are in such high demand?   0:04:40 If no Ivies, then what?   0:05:30 Differences in reputation   0:07:10 Rankings   0:08:00 Be open-minded   0:08:37 Cost and career interest   0:08:50 Dirty little secret   0:10:15 In-state, public schools   0:11:00 Tough choices   0:12:30 Career interest inventory   0:13:30 Option A - lazy option   0:14:20 Option B - pragmatic option   0:15:00 What would you do?   Follow us: Enroll in PrepWell Academy Follow on Instagram Follow on Facebook If you want to support the show, here are three immediate steps to take.   Subscribe to the podcast where ever you listen to podcasts Follow me on Instagram or Facebook Give us a review Share this episode with a friend Join our mailing list Enroll your 9th or 10th grader in the program Podcast Host: PrepWell Academy's Founder, Phil Black, has spent a lifetime cracking the code on the world's most competitive programs: Yale University, Harvard Business School, Navy SEALs, Goldman Sachs, Entrepreneurship, Shark Tank (2X), etc.   Inside PrepWell Academy, Black teaches students everything they need to know about the college admissions process in a series of expertly-timed, 3-5-minute, weekly training videos starting in 9th grade and continuing through 12th grade [Note: this program can only be joined in 9th or 10th grade].
