In this episode, we examine the College Application Process as a Metaphor for the challenges student face in college and in life. The application is the gateway to a student’s future.
The complex process of applying is the beginning of academic and personal independence that requires all kinds of executive function skills such as Critical Thinking, Planning and Prioritization.
We discuss what the process should look like, what to do if you get stuck, why some students get stuck, and the role parents play in the process. Focus Collegiate Founder and Principal Grant Leibersberger and Enrollment and Outreach Director Ann-Marie Stripling give candid advice to parents and students.
