A few months ago, I recorded a series of podcasts with Hannah Engel-Rebitzer, an independent Educational Consultant, about the application process for university and considerations that parents might have.  Primarily, this is applicable to Foreign Service kids, but honestly, any soon-to-apply student and parent could benefit from listening.  We talk about money, what universities are looking for, making a balanced list, and more.  It's getting to be that time again: Below, the entire series is linked for your listening convenience!


# 1 -- What colleges are looking for in applications, and how parents can support their FS kids through the process?

 

6 main things that schools are looking for and how to triumph with each one.




# 2 - What it is students should be looking for in university, and how parents can support this piece of the process?


We talk about location, academics, social scene, as well as a little about finances.  We talk about creating a balanced list and what that looks like.  




# 3 -- Let's talk money. 


How to figure costs, what is need, what is merit and other kinds of aid, and how can we make going to university a bit more accessible, financially-speaking.  




# 4 - Exploring International Options.


Is your student a good fit to flourish in university overseas?  Hannah and I discuss options in Canada, UK, and Netherlands, and include considerations for parents and students for exploring these options.
