Episode 71 College Admissions - How to work the system [legally] with Kerry Roberts

Figuring out the college admissions process and how to help your student get in to the school of their choice, continues to baffle parents and children, leaving everyone anxious, angsty, and maybe even a bit angry. Guest Kerry Roberts advises on how to legally (unlike the parents involved in the infamous Varsity Blues scandal) work the admissions process. Applying her 20+ years of corporate marketing and branding experience to college placement, Kerry now helps students identify and apply to the right colleges for them—skirting the dreaded “sea of sameness” in school selection.  On this episode of TBD, Kerry explains the process as well as her approach, driven by data, compassion, and creativity. She describes the different application timetables (around the 12-minute mark) and provides a sanity-inducing strategy for the college search process. Kelly is certified in college counseling through UCLA. Episode recorded February 3, 2024. Show notes available at thebalancedilemma.com
