Podcasts about admissions

Amy and Mike invited educational consultants Aly Beaumont and Meg Joyce to unpack college enrollment trends for 2026 and 2027. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What is the big theme for college admissions right now? What two pathways do students need to decide between in selective admissions? How are adverse economic conditions affecting colleges and financial aid? What are the unforeseen benefits to applicants from the endowment tax? How can students and families navigate the current enrollment climate? MEET OUR GUESTS Aly Beaumont is the founder of Admissions Village, a family-focused, affordable, one-on-one college guidance consultancy.

What if the biggest mistake in college admissions is trying to impress colleges instead of helping them understand who you are?In this episode, Lisa Marker-Robbins sits down with Susan Knoppow to discuss what admissions officers are actually looking for, why applicants often miss the point of essay prompts, and how a strong process leads to stronger essays.In this episode, Lisa and Susan discuss:How colleges evaluate applicants beyond grades and test scoresThe importance of supplemental essaysBalancing authenticity with strategy in the application processManaging the essay process without unnecessary pressureKey Takeaways: Many applicants spend too much time trying to sound impressive when admissions officers are more interested in whether they answer the question and reveal something meaningful about themselves.Personal statements are most effective when they focus on character and personal growth, while supplemental essays often provide evidence of fit, direction, preparation, and interest in a specific major or institution.Students do not need extraordinary accomplishments or dramatic stories to stand out. What matters more is self awareness, authenticity, and a clear understanding of their goals.A structured process that includes reflection, brainstorming, drafting, revising, and a realistic timeline can lead to stronger essays and less stress for both students and parents. “The lower the stakes, the better the student actually performs.” – Susan KnoppowAbout Susan Knoppow: Susan is the CEO and co-founder of Wow Writing Workshop, where she created the Wow Method, a simple, ten step process for writing college essays used by thousands of students, counselors, and educational consultants. A former executive speechwriter and copywriter, she is also a published poet and essayist.

Most senior living operators have a rigorous clinical admissions process — but almost no financial one. In this conversation, Sunbound CEO Manny Cominsky makes the case that the admission is the single most financially dangerous moment in senior living, and that operators are absorbing months of lost margin on residents who couldn't afford care from day one. He shares how leading operators are now running financial underwriting in parallel with clinical assessment — stopping bad debt before it starts. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

David praises the LORD as his refuge and rescuer, for the LORD alone grants victory to His king and His people. This is no small wonder, that the LORD would have such regard for finite humanity, yet because of this wonder, David is bold to cry out for the LORD to come down and combat the lies of the devil with the truth of His Word. The people of God respond with a song of praise, knowing that their true peace is found when the LORD reigns as King. Truly, those people are blessed who have David's Son and David's Lord, Jesus Christ, as their King!  Rev.

With everyone in the world angling to access the benefits of artificial intelligence without succumbing to the plentiful pitfalls of excessive automation, you'd expect higher ed administrators to explore every way possible to harness tech for more accurate and efficient student selection. And you'd be right. Amy and Mike invited ed tech professional Ashish Fernando to examine how colleges use AI in admissions. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What does AI actually look like inside an admissions office today? Why are data silos a problem across educational institutions? Does AI lead to less bias in admissions decisions or more? Where is the human advantage in making admissions decisions? Looking ahead five or ten years, what will separate the colleges that survive and thrive from the ones that struggle? MEET OUR GUEST Ashish Fernando is the Founder & CEO of EDMO, an AI-powered education technology company that provides enrollment solutions to higher education institutions. With an education background from Bentley University, Ashish has spent the last several years building intelligent tools that automate document evaluation, streamline enrollment workflows, and enhance student engagement.

His work reflects a simple philosophy: use AI to empower institutions and create better experiences for students worldwide.  Ashish can be reached at https://goedmo.com/contact.

What if the most important shift you could make as a leader isn't learning more, but learning to hear what's already being said? In this episode, Guy Legare, clinical psychologist, executive leadership coach at Inperium, and lifelong student of listening, shares one of the most quietly powerful stories you will ever hear on this podcast. It begins in 1990 in New Brunswick, Canada, with a man named James who had been admitted to a psychiatric facility 43 times in 25 years, and ends with a breakfast conversation about Kentucky Fried Chicken that changed the entire direction of Guy's career. Guy has spent 45 years obsessed with one question: how do I recognize the impact I am having on people so I can change it as quickly as possible? From a chance encounter with psychologist Herb Lovett, to a four-day conversation with a woman named Beth who became his soul sister, to 22 years of partnership with Ryan Dewey Smith at Inperium, every pivotal moment in Guy's life has come through a relationship he couldn't have planned.   [00:04:00] What He Does and Who He Serves Executive Director of Person Driven Clinical Solutions, retiring at the end of June 2026 Executive Leadership Coach at Inperium for 22 years Dedicated 45 years to helping organizations build cultures of feedback and listening [00:06:00] How He Got Here Dreamed of becoming a chemist; dropped out when it turned out to be boring Found a job supporting people with physical disabilities in Quebec City Watched a psychologist reframe situations in a way that stopped everyone cold Went back to school, became a psychologist, and never looked back [00:10:40] James and the 3AM Epiphany In 1990 was working with James, a man with 43 psychiatric admissions in 25 years After six months, James was getting more frustrated; the team assumed he was getting sick again Woke up at 3AM and realized the team might be the problem, not James Showed up unannounced at 8AM and asked James if their efforts had been frustrating him [00:15:40] "That Took You Long Enough to Figure It Out" James leaned back, smiled, and said exactly that after six months of 70 to 90 hour weeks His requests were simple, human, and completely outside the clinical framework The frustration disappeared the moment they followed what James was actually asking for [00:16:00] What Six Months of 90-Hour Weeks Actually Taught Him Was working 70 to 90 hours a week; none of it was landing the way he thought His belief that he was helping made it impossible to see that he wasn't The same pattern repeated with 10 or 11 other people; the lesson became undeniable [00:20:20] James's Two Requests He didn't want the crisis line; calling it meant police, the ER, and months in a facility He wanted Bob, a familiar face who could remind him they had been through it before The psychiatric facility was closing; Bob could move into the community and keep doing the work he loved [00:25:00] What Changed When They Finally Listened The minute the team followed what James was asking for, the frustration stopped He was still struggling with voices; what disappeared was his frustration with the helpers Admissions got shorter and further apart; he stopped losing his apartment every time [00:27:00] The Lesson That Never Left No matter how certain you feel, check with the person you are trying to help Helpers must systematically verify their impact; it is now an evidence-based practice If someone tells you that you missed something, that feedback is a gift [00:28:00] The Relationship That Changed Everything: Herb Lovett Met Herb at a two-day training in New Brunswick in the early 1990s Herb said: "The day I realized I was my client's biggest problem, they all started to do better" That sentence has guided Guy's work for 45 years Herb introduced him to Dr. Beth Bero in Pennsylvania, which changed everything again [00:29:00] The Soul Sister: Dr. Beth Bero Met Beth through Herb; described it as meeting a long-lost soul sister They talked nonstop for four days about the work they were both passionate about Everything Guy knows about conflict, group work, and team dynamics came from her A one-year contract became two, then three; he met his wife and never left Pennsylvania [00:33:20] The Thunderbird Framework at Inperium Uses a leadership framework inspired by the USAF Thunderbirds The Thunderbirds fly within one inch of each other and debrief after every show without rank Applying the same principle at Inperium: honest, rank-free debriefing to identify and correct drift The goal is not blame; it is to keep inching closer to where the team needs to be [00:35:40] Inperium's Vision and Guy's Role Going Forward Inperium has grown from 8 organizations in one state to nearly 30 across 21 states Guy articulates and practices the leadership framework across the full network Runs the Inperium Leadership Series to build trust and alignment across affiliates Everything the executive team learns is designed to be adapted by affiliate CEOs too   KEY QUOTES "The day I realized as a psychologist I was my client's biggest problem, they all started to do a whole lot better." - Herb Lovett, as shared by Guy Legare "If someone tells you that you missed something, the feedback they're giving me is a gift." - Guy Legare CONNECT WITH GUY LEGARE Website: https://www.inperium.org Leadership Profile: https://www.inperium.org/leadership/guy-legare LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/guy-legare-3aa1b437   Thanks for tuning in!

After students finish the ILC, they continue meeting weekly to stay connected, keep building, and grow inside a positive community.In this class, Wes shares his simple summer planning system: choose the areas of your life you want to develop, set a few meaningful goals, and create small routines that keep you moving without over-scheduling every hour.You'll hear how students are thinking about research, writing, podcasts, fitness, impact projects, friendships, and even fried chicken.The goal isn't to have the busiest summer.The goal is to design a summer that helps you grow-----To register for the Ivy League Challenge, visit our websiteTo follow on Instagram:  @TheIvyLeagueChallengeTo join us on our Facebook group for parents

Megan and Erin discussed a challenging college admission situation involving a student with strong academic credentials (1520 SAT, 4.0 GPA, all A’s) who was rejected by highly competitive schools despite thorough preparation and professional guidance. The student ultimately gained admission to a school with rolling admissions that better suited his needs, though his parents and mentor experienced disappointment and felt personally invested in his success. Megan emphasized that highly competitive schools (accepting less than 20% of applicants) are becoming increasingly difficult to gain admission to, and advised building a diverse college list with some safety schools that still offer quality education. The conversation highlighted the emotional impact on both students and professionals when well-qualified applicants are rejected, and the importance of having alternative options that can ultimately be positive outcomes. The post 629: Surprising Results: Erin’s Admissions Questions appeared first on The College Prep Podcast.

As much as every student anticipates four or more years of perfect health during their undergraduate studies, life happens. Luckily, illness or injuries don't need to mean an end to your academic journey, especially if you know the right way to take a pause. Amy and Mike invited college advisors Jennifer Stephan and Karen Flood to explain the process of taking a medical leave of absence from college. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What is a medical leave of absence (MLOA), and how do colleges actually use medical leaves? What is the typical timeline for a leave request? How do you know when a medical leave is the right decision versus trying to push through? How do students return from a medical leave, and what are colleges really looking for in that process? What does a medical leave mean for a student's future?

What if the real college major deadline isn't when applications are submitted, but when students should be prepared to demonstrate direction?In this solo episode, Lisa Marker-Robbins explains why college-bound students need to be ready to show direction by August 1, when applications open, and majors must be selected. She breaks down why waiting creates pressure, why students end up guessing, and what families should do now to avoid rushed decisions.She then shares practical strategies and a student example, showing how self-awareness, filtering options by fit and strengths, and real-world exploration can help students build confidence and make more informed decisions early.In this episode, you'll discover:Early preparation and timing expectations for college application readinessThe importance of personal clarity in academic and career decisionsHow admissions teams evaluate demonstrated evidence of fitStructural limits within universities that affect major flexibilityKey Takeaways: August 1 is best understood as a readiness milestone rather than a strict deadline, marking when applications open, and students are expected to show evidence-based direction for a chosen major.Admissions increasingly look for alignment between a student's experiences and intended field, so clarity and demonstrated interest matter more than last-minute choices.The idea that majors are easy to switch is often misleading. A 2024 Flourish Coaching study found only 8 percent of state flagship universities allow unrestricted switching of majors, with most imposing limits based on requirements or capacity.A structured approach that begins with self-awareness, narrows options based on fit, and includes real-world testing helps students build confidence and make more intentional decisions before application season. “When you're waiting on time to help it figure itself out, that doesn't remove the decision; waiting just delays it, and as you delay it, you raise the stakes.” – Lisa Marker-RobbinsEpisode References:Turn confusion into career clarity—and give your teen direction and you peace of mind with Launch Career Clarity®: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/course/Credential Value Index https://credentialvalueindex.org#214 “You Can Be Anything”: Why This Advice Backfires with Your Young Person https://flourishcoachingco.com/214#169 The Hidden Impact of College Major Selection on Admissions with Rick Clark: https://flourishcoachingco.com/169Get Lisa's Free on-demand video: THE CAREER IDENTIFICATION COMPASS: How To Be Certain Your 15 To 25 Year Old is On The Right Path to Launch With Confidence–Not Confusion: flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

Most students believe the way to stand out in college admissions is simple:Do more.Achieve more.Be more impressive.But at the highest levels, that strategy is exactly what makes applications blend in.In this episode, we break down how admissions officers actually evaluate students, and why trying to be “impressive” often works against you.You'll learn:Why the “Impressiveness Trap” causes strong students to get overlookedThe two questions admissions officers are really askingHow context and expectations shape how your achievements are viewedWhy doing more doesn't make you stand outHow clarity of values leads to a more compelling applicationWhat separates students who get into top schools from those who don't-----To register for the Ivy League Challenge, visit our websiteTo follow on Instagram:  @TheIvyLeagueChallengeTo join us on our Facebook group for parents

In college admissions, summer serves a very important purpose.It's one of the only times of year where your time is truly your own… and that makes it one of the clearest signals of who you are, what you value, and how you choose to operate when no one is telling you what to do.In this episode, we break down how to think about your summer the right way, and how to use it to actually differentiate yourself.What You'll LearnWhy summers matter more than almost anything else in your applicationThe difference between “theme park” experiences and real responsibilityHow to evaluate opportunities (beyond job vs internship labels)Why “ordinary” work can be more impressive than prestigious programsHow to move from interest → experience → real contributionWhat admissions officers are actually looking for when they review your summer activities-----To register for the Ivy League Challenge, visit our websiteTo follow on Instagram:  @TheIvyLeagueChallengeTo join us on our Facebook group for parents

In this episode, Bryce sits down with Alvin Lui of Courage Is a Habit for a second round—and it gets into some wild territory. They break down what’s actually happening inside schools right now, especially in places like Maryland, where policies around “mental health,” inclusion, and education are creating serious controversy. From headlines about tampons in boys’ bathrooms to deeper conversations about how school systems shape beliefs over time, this episode goes beyond surface-level outrage. Alvin argues that the real influence isn’t coming from obvious curriculum—but from systems like counseling programs, social-emotional learning, and the language used around “kindness” and “empathy.” Bryce and Alvin dig into how those ideas are taught, how they evolve as kids grow up, and why many parents feel like they’re missing what’s happening until it’s too late. They also get into: Why some school policies spark reactions—and how those reactions are then used to justify more change The shift in discipline, bullying, and student behavior over the years What parents can actually do if they want more control over their child’s environment The bigger question of where responsibility starts—and where it shouldn’t be handed off Ready to JOIN THE FIGHT?

Put down the study guides for a second because I'm taking you back 20 years to my own medical school application, back when the MCAT was still paper and pencil. I'm breaking down my 4.0 GPA, my "31S" test score, and why I spent my interviews pretending to be passionate about the phylogenetics of North American fruit bats just to check a box. We're also diving into the high-stakes Department of Justice investigation into diversity initiatives at major med schools and why turning admissions into a "pure numbers game" is a massive mistake for the future of compassionate medicine. After the break, we're back with Thing I Love, Thing I Hate. I'll explain why I'm obsessed with OCT imaging, technology that lets us see all nine layers of the retina at a microscopic level. Then, we tackle the "Thing I Hate": the history of "Radial Keratotomy" (RK). It was the precursor to LASIK that involved cutting 80% through the cornea with a knife, and it serves as a cautionary tale for why I'm a "slow adopter" of the latest, most expensive surgical fads today. Takeaways: The Sliding Doors of Dartmouth: How a last-minute application and a persistent string of update letters changed Will's life and eventually saved it. The Wealth Gap in Admissions: Why expensive prep courses and the ability to study without working are creating a homogenous group of doctors that doesn't reflect America.

Joseph Duggar, 31, faces charges of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child under 12 and lewd and lascivious contact in Bay County, Florida — charges classified as a life felony carrying a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years upon conviction. According to the arrest affidavit, a now-fourteen-year-old girl disclosed to investigators that Joseph allegedly molested her repeatedly during a 2020 family vacation to Panama City Beach when she was nine. The affidavit states the victim's father confronted Joseph, who reportedly admitted to the conduct. Tontitown, Arkansas, detectives subsequently had the father call Joseph with a detective monitoring the line, and he allegedly admitted again. Joseph posted $600,000 bond, has entered a written not-guilty plea, and is barred from unsupervised contact with anyone under 18.Separately, when authorities inspected the home Joseph shares with his wife Kendra, they reportedly found locks on the exterior of children's bedroom doors. Both were charged in Arkansas with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of second-degree false imprisonment — misdemeanor charges carrying a combined maximum of eight years. The Tontitown Police Department has described the investigation as active and ongoing.An email from Jim Bob Duggar to Joseph, obtained through Washington County public records and dated March 25, has now been analyzed by Retired FBI Counterintelligence Chief Robin Dreeke. In the email, Jim Bob acknowledges Joseph made "terrible decisions," compares him to King David and the Biblical Joseph, frames incarceration as potential ministry, tells Joseph that God is not finished with his life, and calls Kendra's charges "ridiculous." The alleged victim is not referenced at any point in the communication. Dreeke identifies the behavioral pattern — empathy directed exclusively toward the accused, accountability reframed through theology, and the person allegedly harmed entirely absent from the narrative.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines the investigative mechanics — how ancillary evidence from a home search produces separate charges, what the department's "active and ongoing" language signals, and whether the Duggar family's documented pattern of internal handling creates grounds for expanded federal inquiry. Josh Duggar is currently serving twelve and a half years in federal prison for receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material, conviction upheld on appeal.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Joseph Duggar, 31, faces two felony charges in Bay County, Florida — lewd and lascivious molestation of a victim under twelve and lewd and lascivious conduct — stemming from allegations of abuse during a 2020 family vacation to Panama City Beach. He appeared for his first hearing, where bond was set at six hundred thousand dollars. He has pleaded not guilty. His Florida arraignment is pending.The evidentiary record in this case includes what investigators describe as two separate pre-counsel admissions. According to the Bay County arrest affidavit, the victim's father confronted Duggar directly, and Duggar admitted to the conduct. Tontitown detectives subsequently monitored a phone call between Duggar and the father, during which Duggar again allegedly admitted to the acts. Both admissions were documented before defense counsel was retained. The admissibility and weight of those statements will be central to the proceedings.Separately, Joseph and Kendra Duggar face misdemeanor charges in Washington County, Arkansas — four counts each of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts each of second-degree false imprisonment. Kendra was arrested and released on one thousand four hundred seventy dollars bond. Both have pending court dates in Elm Springs District Court. As a condition of release, Joseph is prohibited from unsupervised contact with any minor.On Hidden Killers Live With Tony Brueski & Robin Dreeke, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis provides legal analysis of the Florida charges, the admissibility questions surrounding the pre-counsel statements, and the procedural landscape across both jurisdictions. Robin Dreeke examines the behavioral dimensions of the family pattern.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
