A Mother's Role in College Admissions

A college bound high school student has several guides on the path toward higher education: members of their high school faculty and staff, mentors in the community, parents, older siblings, who are already enrolled in college, etc. Within this constellation of resources, a parent deserves special attention, because a parent has known their student for the student's entire life and, therefore, has a perspective that the student finds nowhere else. In this episode and in honor of Mother's Day, Dr. Riley (from collegeapp101.com) delivers a tribute to mothers, offering tips and ideas on the role that they should play in their student's college admissions process.
