Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe sits down with Evelyn Jerome Alexander—Certified Educational Planner, UC Berkeley instructor, and founder of Magellan College Counseling—whose whole philosophy treats college admissions as a family wellness challenge, not just a strategy problem.Dr. Joe and Evelyn discuss how to navigate admissions without fracturing the parent-child relationship, including why chasing prestige "bumper sticker" schools causes so much heartache, why the best-fit colleges are often ones families have never heard of, what "student-led, parent-supported" really means and how parents can get off the driver's seat without checking out, why she meets with students without parents in the room, her honest take on why she "hates passion projects," and what AI genuinely can and can't do on the college essay.This episode is especially useful for parents feeling the admissions pressure build, families of students who don't fit the conventional mold, and anyone who wants to get their kid into the right college without losing their relationship in the process.📲 Connect with them: https://magellancounseling.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@MagellanCounseling/videos📲 Learn more about us: https://supportedtutoring.com/Facebook: Dr. JoeInstagram: @dr_joe_ap_exams Thanks for tuning in to the SupportED Learning Podcast with Dr. Joe.
