Other than YCBK, what else do you love?

I like the Dartmouth one with Lee Coffin. Some think he’s obnoxious but I like his nasally voice.

I've tried a bunch and like Your College Bound Kid best. The old back catalog of episodes from the College Essay Guy Podcast is also good.

Tried some others, but nothing stuck. I found that YCBK had everything we needed, especially if willing to dig back into the archives

Yale, but you have to remember that it's younger people who have only worked in admission at one really, really selective school.

I also like Yale (as well as ycbk)

I can only handle so much about the topic. It gets too obsessive. I listen to one and that’s it.

Yale's is good. Not a podcast, but if you look on Youtube Holy Cross College walks you through implementation of the software program that admission's counselor use that display gpa, SAT scores, recommendations/notes. Very revealing for behind the scenes.

This is the use of the admission's software.

YCBK is my favorite.

The College Essay Guy seems to be rolling out podcasts again. I think he has a new one today:

The new College Essay Guy episodes are by a CEG team member, not CEG himself.

I dislike this guy so much, it made me dislike Dartmouth. I was relieved my kid didn't like the tour. All because of this podcast - lol!

I only listened to ycbk. I tried others but it’s consistently the best. Love Mark and his crew.
