In today’s podcast, we review the college application process. When is the right time to start thinking about life after high school? What factors may influence a teen’s decision to attend college, community college or a trade school. We discuss what is involved in college application, how to make your application shine and how parents can support their children throughout this process. In addition, we will review a checklist of things to consider before your teen leaves home for the first time.
