Ep. 271 | The Case for No-Name Colleges

from PrepWell Podcast with Phil Black · host Phil Black

In this episode, I argue that many more students should consider applying to colleges with low name recognition (e.g. Goucher College, Beloit College, Eckerd College).Most students (and parents) pay scant attention to colleges they've never heard of before or that don't show up on popular college "rankings."This is a mistake.With rising college costs ($100K/yr) and plummeting admit rates (e.g. 2.5%), it's high time that families cast a wider net.Learn why considering these colleges might be the secret weapon you've been waiting for.Follow us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll in PrepWell Academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give us a reviewShare this episode with a friendJoin our mailing list (by opting in on the homepage or in this article)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ your 9th or 10th grader in the programPrepWell 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.
