About this episode
In a few days, the calendar will turn from September to October. October is PSAT month, when many schools offer the Preliminary SAT (or PSAT) to their students. The PSAT is a great way for college bound high school students to prepare for the SAT. And, for eleventh graders, the junior year PSAT is also the National Merit Scholarship® competition. In this episode, Dr. Riley (from collegeapp101.com) provides some final inspiration in the form of an excerpt from one of the most popular episodes of College App 101 season 1: Interview with a National Merit Scholar.
