In this episode, we talk about storytelling. Not necessarily in an academic sense but in a life-sense. If you have a child who plans to attend college, this discussion is  very important and informative. From a college's perspective, admissions staff are especially interested in seeing a student's potential to succeed in post-secondary school as well as their future career. They also want to ensure that your child is a person who will contribute to the education and careers of their classmates, so your child's lived experience will be critical in how they tell their story. So what exactly will your child need to know before writing that first essay? Learn more as I interview college admissions expert, Kate Stone, as she walk us through the process.

In this mini-series, Thomas talks about the top things to do as a junior student applying to college. It is an important time because the students start to feel that their time is coming, and several questions are now coming to mind. As a follow-up to the previous episode, today, Thomas highlights the best tips to follow during your application. Usually, August 1st is the day when students are allowed to start their applications, but you don't get any extra points for being too early. A lot can happen during summer, so living all the experiences before writing about them is the way to go. When writing an essay, certain things like punctuation, conciseness, and grammar are fundamental. In parallel, writing more doesn't always mean writing better. Tune in to learn more! Key Highlights Grammar is important when working on your application. Be honest and genuine with your answers. Be conscious about the strategy you want to follow. Don't forget: the university wants to know more about you. More is not your friend: be concise and original. You don't get extra points for being too early, so take your time.

In this mini-series, Thomas talks about the top things to do as a junior student applying to college. It is an important time because the students start to feel that their time is coming, and several questions are now coming to mind. Although it is normal to be confused and overwhelmed, it is also important to take a moment and start to organize things. For example, making a list of schools the student wants to apply to, visiting these same schools, gathering recommendations, and researching are all great things to focus on during this time. It is also valuable to take advantage of the summer break. It is perfectly ok to want to relax, travel, or spend time with family and friends, but now is also the time to start preparing for the future ahead. Key Highlights Learn what you need to do between now and the fall. How are you presenting yourself to the university? Recommendations are fundamental during this time. It's helpful to have a list of desired schools. Get to know the university if you pay a visit. Important aspects to consider during this time are your grades and leadership skills.
