Access College Radio: Crushing It With College Counseling

When you’re heading into the unknown, it’s always good to have a guide. Someone who knows the territory, knows the language, and knows the way. So it is with college admissions.

The good news is there are gobs of guides out there—you just have to know where to look. In this installment of Access College, we talk to several insiders about where to look and how to find a helpful college guide, starting with college counselors.

We speak with a truly inspirational young woman who works with a national nonprofit dedicated to helping low-income students pursue their college dreams. We hear from the head of college counseling at a prestigious California high school. And we talk with the CEO of a national organization of independent college counselors.
